Abstract excerpt
Haplotype map is the basis of SNP association studies in two aspects. One is to understand how SNPs are organized on chromosomes, thereby helping researchers to select tag SNPs to be examined. The other is to explore the presence of "hidden SNP" by haplotype analyses that is really associated with the disease. Although it is very difficult to forecast the future of SNP studies, the final and ideal methodology...
