A Common Variant Associated with Dyslexia Reduces Expression of the KIAA0319 Gene [PDF]
Numerous genetic association studies have implicated the KIAA0319 gene on human chromosome 6p22 in dyslexia susceptibility. The causative variant(s) remains unknown but may modulate gene expression, given that (1) a dyslexia-associated haplotype has been

Detecting Local Haplotype Sharing and Haplotype Association [PDF]
Abstract A novel haplotype association method is presented, and its power is demonstrated. Relying on a statistical model for linkage disequilibrium (LD), the method first infers ancestral haplotypes and their loadings at each marker for each individual.

Joint Haplotype Assembly and Genotype Calling via Sequential Monte Carlo Algorithm [PDF]
Genetic variations predispose individuals to hereditary diseases, play important role in the development of complex diseases, and impact drug metabolism. The full information about the DNA variations in the genome of an individual is given by haplotypes,

Exploring effective approaches for haplotype block phasing
Background Knowledge of phase, the specific allele sequence on each copy of homologous chromosomes, is increasingly recognized as critical for detecting certain classes of disease-associated mutations. One approach for detecting such mutations is through
