Abstract excerpt
Some single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) increase the risk of mortal disease. Identifying these SNPs and the genes in which they reside is an important area in human genomics. Such qualitative observations are important in themselves. However, an accurate assessment of the numerical distributi...
