چکیده
MEDICAL SCIENCES. For the article ‘‘Linkage disequilibrium in human populations,’’ by Christine Lonjou, Weihua Zhang, Andrew Collins, William J. Tapper, Eiram Elahi, Nikolas Maniatis, and Newton E. Morton, which appeared in issue 10, May 13, 2003, of Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (100, 6069–6074; First Published April 29, 2003; 10.1073 pnas.1031521100), due to a printer’s error, the last three column headings in Table 5 incorrectly contained dashes in ‘‘European-Asian,’’ ‘‘AfricanAmerican-Yoruban,’’ and ‘‘African-Eurasian’’ instead of the necessary minus signs. The corrected table appears below.

Mapping genes through the use of linkage disequilibrium generated by genetic drift: 'drift mapping' in small populations with no demographic expansion.
Linkage disequilibrium has been a powerful tool in identifying rare disease alleles in human populations. To date, most research has been directed to isolated populations which have undergone a bottleneck followed by rapid exponential expansion. While this strategy works well for rare diseases in which all disease alleles in the population today are clonal copies of some common ancestral allele...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium in human populations.
Whereas the human linkage map appears on limited evidence to be constant over populations, maps of linkage disequilibrium (LD) vary among populations that differ in gene history. The greatest difference is between populations of sub-Saharan origin and populations remotely derived from Africa after a major bottleneck that reduced their heterozygosity and altered their Malecot parameters, increas...
متن کاملThe Pattern of Linkage Disequilibrium in Livestock Genome
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is bases of genomic selection, genomic marker imputation, marker assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, parentage testing and whole genome association studies. The Particular alleles at closed loci have a tendency to be co-inherited. In linked loci this pattern leads to association between alleles in population which is known as LD. Two metr...
متن کاملPopulation genomics: Linkage disequilibrium holds the key
Current efforts to find disease-causing genes depend on patterns of linkage disequilibrium in human populations. Recent work has shown that linkage disequilibrium can extend over much larger genomic regions than expected, and that the patterns of linkage disequilibrium can differ markedly among populations.
متن کاملPopulation structure in admixed populations: effect of admixture dynamics on the pattern of linkage disequilibrium.
Gene flow between genetically distinct populations creates linkage disequilibrium (admixture linkage disequilibrium [ALD]) among all loci (linked and unlinked) that have different allele frequencies in the founding populations. We have explored the distribution of ALD by using computer simulation of two extreme models of admixture: the hybrid-isolation (HI) model, in which admixture occurs in a...
