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.

A haplotype containing quantitative trait loci for SLC1A1 gene expression and its association with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

TL;DR: The authors' case-control data corroborate previous smaller family-based studies that indicated that SLC1A1 is a susceptibility locus for OCD and provide a potentially useful complementary approach to strengthen future candidate gene studies in neuropsychiatric and other disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testing the Circadian Gene Hypothesis in Prostate Cancer: A Population-Based Case-Control Study

TL;DR: The hypothesis of a link between genetic variants in circadian genes and prostate cancer risk is supported, warranting further confirmation and mechanistic investigation of circadian biomarkers in prostate tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The SERPINE2 Gene Is Associated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Two Large Populations

TL;DR: 25 single nucleotide polymorphisms from SERPINE2 were genotyped and qualitative and quantitative COPD phenotypes in 635 pedigrees with 1,910 individuals and an independent case-control population that included 973 COPD cases and 956 control subjects were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder is Associated with Genetic Variation in ESR1, the Estrogen Receptor Alpha Gene

TL;DR: These are the first positive (albeit preliminary) genetic findings in this reproductive endocrine-related mood disorder and involve the receptor for a hormone that is pathogenically relevant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome Wide Association Study of Seedling and Adult Plant Leaf Rust Resistance in Elite Spring Wheat Breeding Lines.

TL;DR: This is the first GWAS study of leaf rust resistance in elite wheat breeding lines genotyped with high density 90K SNP arrays and developed computer programs to automate field and seedling rust phenotype data conversions.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Association of the adam33 gene with asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness

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.
