TLDR
Haploview is a software package that provides computation of linkage disequilibrium statistics and population haplotype patterns from primary genotype data in a visually appealing and interactive interface.
Abstract
Summary: Research over the last few years has revealed significant haplotype structure in the human genome. The characterization of these patterns, particularly in the context of medical genetic association studies, is becoming a routine research activity. Haploview is a software package that provides computation of linkage disequilibrium statistics and population haplotype patterns from primary genotype data in a visually appealing and interactive interface.

CNR1 gene is associated with high neuroticism and low agreeableness and interacts with recent negative life events to predict current depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: The results represent the first evidence in humans that the CNR1 gene is a risk factor for depression––and probably also for co-morbid psychiatric conditions such as substance use disorders––through a high neuroticism and low agreeableness phenotype.

IL-4 receptor polymorphisms predict reduction in asthma exacerbations during response to an anti-IL-4 receptor α antagonist.

TL;DR: A significant pharmacogenetic interaction between anti-IL-4 receptor α therapy and IL4RA gene variation is demonstrated, identifying an asthma subgroup that is more responsive to therapy with this antagonist.

A Comprehensive Study of Polymorphic Sites along the HLA-G Gene: Implication for Gene Regulation and Evolution

TL;DR: Several lines of evidence indicate that HLA-G polymorphisms at the 5'-upstream regulatory region (5' URR) and 3'-untranslated region (3' UTR) may influence the Hla-G expression levels, and several lines ofevidence for balancing selection acting on the regulatory regions are reported.

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.

High-resolution haplotype structure in the human genome.

TL;DR: A high-resolution analysis of the haplotype structure across 500 kilobases on chromosome 5q31 using 103 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a European-derived population offers a coherent framework for creating a haplotype map of the human genome.

Linkage disequilibrium in the human genome

TL;DR: The results illuminate human history, suggesting that LD in northern Europeans is shaped by a marked demographic event about 27,000–53,000 years ago, implying that LD mapping is likely to be practical in this population.

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of ADAM33, a putative asthma susceptibility gene identified by positional cloning in an outbred population, should provide insights into the pathogenesis and natural history of this common disease.
