Linkage disequilibrium between loci with unknown phase.
Linkage disequilibrium is often measured by two statistics, D and r, which can be interpreted as the covariance and the correlation between loci and across gametes. When data consist of diploid genotypes, however, gametes cannot be identified. A variety of iterative statistical methods are used in such cases, all of which assume random mating. Previous work has shown that D and r can be express...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium testing when linkage phase is unknown.
Linkage disequilibrium, the nonrandom association of alleles from different loci, can provide valuable information on the structure of haplotypes in the human genome and is often the basis for evaluating the association of genomic variation with human traits among unrelated subjects. But, linkage phase of genetic markers measured on unrelated subjects is typically unknown, and so measurement of...
متن کاملThe hitchhiking effect on linkage disequilibrium between linked neutral loci.
We analyzed a three-locus model of genetic hitchhiking with one locus experiencing positive directional selection and two partially linked neutral loci. Following the original hitchhiking approach by Maynard Smith and Haigh, our analysis is purely deterministic. In the first half of the selected phase after a favored mutation has entered the population, hitchhiking may lead to a strong increase...
متن کاملAdaptive linkage disequilibrium between two esterase loci of a salamander.
In some populations of the salamander Plethodon cinereus, two polymorphic esterase loci are in linkage disequilibrium. Short-term stability of the linkage disequilibrium is demonstrated by an age class analysis. Long, perhaps very long, term stability is suggested by its distribution. This stability and concordant geographic variation in allelic frequencies imply selective origin and maintenanc...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium between single nucleotide polymorphisms and hypermutable loci
Some diseases are caused by genetic loci with a high rate of change, and heritability in complex traits is likely to be partially caused by variation at these loci. These hypermutable elements, such as tandem repeats, change at rates that are orders of magnitude higher than the rates at which most single nucleotides mutate. However, single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, are currently the pr...
