Figure 1.

Linkage disequilibrium pattern and haplotype blocks of SNPs in the SGK493 gene using genotyping data in this study. Colors correspond to D' and numbers in each cell to r² parameter. Blocks were defined with method described by Gabriel et al. [18]. In red is marked the coding region of the SGK493 gene (lines are introns and boxes exons) and blue boxes show the untranslated (UTR) regions of the gene. * SNPs found associated in the individual pooled samples and replication sample (Table 3).
