Although we did not find high linkage disequilibrium in this region overall, for a core region spanning these three additional markers in EAs we found higher Relative Extended Haplotype Homozygosity (high LD extending from a high frequency haplotype – a departure from neutrality) for the three-derived-allele haplotype than for the three-ancestral-allele haplotype. In AAs, we found the opposite effect.
