Abstract excerpt
We herein present a haplotype-based method to perform genome-wide association studies. The method relies on hidden Markov models to describe haplotypes from a population as a mosaic of a set of ancestral haplotypes. For a given position in the genome, haplotypes deriving from the same ancestral haplotype are also likely to carry the same risk alleles. Therefore, the model can be used in several applications such...
