Figure 4. Genome Scan Data for Chromosome 6 for Multicase Families of Visceral Leishmaniasis from Sudan.

Figure 4

(A) refined mapping data by village; (B) data for El-Rugab village stratified by Y chromosome haplotype; (C) data for Um-Salala village stratified by Y chromosome haplotype. Multipoint LOD scores (plotted as sign(dhat)•LOD [36]) are shown on the vertical axis and the distance in cM (Genethon Map) from the p terminus on the horizontal axis. The mean ± SD peak LOD score at 6q27 obtained when randomly dropping one pedigree at each analysis (see legend to Figure 2) was 3.61 ± 0.46 (range 2.39–4.28). Information contents over the region of linkage at 6q27 (174–180 cM) were 0.66 ± 0.05 (range 0.61–0.72) for El-Rugab refined map in (A), 0.64 ± 0.07 (range 0.56–0.73) for El-Rugab E3b1 families in (B), and 0.87 ± 0.04 (range 0.83–0.94) for Um-Salala E3b1 families in (C).
