Abstract: |
Allele frequencies for a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) can vary significantly among different populations and ethnic groups. In an effort to collectively present genetic diversity, an international project called the “HapMap” was developed in 2003. The HapMap project aims to record the allele frequencies of SNPs in reference population samples that represent human diversity (Caucasians/Europeans, Africans, Chinese, Japanese). Equally important, the HapMap project allows for the construction of haplotype maps and the identification of tag SNPs. The latter are indicative of genetic linkage and, consequently, potential clinical significance.
