Figure 2. Linkage Disequilibrium of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) along the 1q25 region encompassing the CRP gene and illustrating the 1 distinct haplotype block, defined by the confidence intervals, an algorithm proposed by Gabriel et al. [31] using HAPLOVIEW. The linkage disequilibrium (r²) between any two SNPs is listed in the cross cell. Asterisk means the darker the color indicates the higher the linkage disequilibrium between any two SNPs. Please note that SNP rs3091244 consists of three alleles; two minor alleles A and T are combined into one minor allele due to the limitation of the program which only allows for dichotomous SNPs. SNP rs3093068 was genotyped on 205 subjects, whereas the other eight SNPs were genotyped on 244 subjects.
