TL;DR: The HapMap will allow the discovery of sequence variants that affect common disease, will facilitate development of diagnostic tools, and will enhance the ability to choose targets for therapeutic intervention.

TL;DR: Allele −8 of the microsatellite DG8S737 was associated with prostate cancer in three case-control series of European ancestry from Iceland, Sweden and the US, and the association was replicated in an African American case- control group with a similar OR, leading to a greater estimated PAR.

TL;DR: An ordered-subsets analysis based on families with high or low diabetes-related quantitative traits yielded results that support the possible existence of disease-predisposing genes on chromosomes 6 and 10, and Genomewide linkage-disequilibrium analysis using microsatellite marker data revealed strong evidence of association for D22S423.

TL;DR: It is shown that, particularly when phenotyping is expensive, conversion-based haplotyping can be more efficient and cost-effective than standard genotyping.

TL;DR: A hidden Markov method for detecting genotyping errors and mutations in multilocus linkage data designed for use with sibling-pair data when parental genotypes are unavailable, which generally flags those errors that have the largest impact on linkage results.
