Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in several genes on the short arm of chromosome 6 (6p), among them, VEGF, FKBP5, HLA-DR and TNF-alpha, have been associated with inflammation and transplant outcome, such as acute rejection. Independent segregation of these genes is unproven, so we investigated linkage between distant genes on 6p and the putative existence of evolutionarily conserved long-range 6p haplotypes. SNPs studied were...
