Haplotype blocks and pairwise D’ values are shown in Figure 1. Two haplotype blocks were identified: block 1 includes three SNPs (8 kb): rs4792886, rs110402 and rs242924 while block 2 includes 15 SNPs (19 kb) and extends from rs242942 to rs1876829. The 3′UTR SNP rs16940686 was distal to block 2. Haplotypes within each block are presented in Table 3, along with their respective frequencies in cases and controls.
