The Textile Plot: A New Linkage Disequilibrium Display of Multiple-Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Genotype Data
Figure 5
Textile plots and pairwise LD displays of SNPs located in a region surrounding HLA-DP genes, including the disease-susceptibility SNPs rs3077 and rs9277535 for the chronic hepatitis B.
(a) The order of SNPs was according to the physical order on chromosome 6. The leftmost axis indicates the affection status for the chronic hepatitis B cases (BCH), and the controls (CTRL). (b) The order was rearranged by the heuristic clustering algorithm described in Methods. The affection status was not included in the clustering algorithm. (c) Pairwise (top) and
(bottom) displays. (d) The top 3 frequent homozygote stretches in HLA-DP region are highlighted.
