Figure 1. Chromosome 7q position of CD36 trait-associated SNPs and linkage disequibrium (LD) structure across the gene.

Figure 1

(A) The position of each trait-associated SNP along the gene is indicated by the triangles next to the corresponding rs number. The positions of the SNPs on chromosome 7q are based on HapMap data release 27. (B) Schematic diagram of the CD36 gene (vertical bars representing exons). (C) A graphical representation of the LD block structure of a 100-kb region across 7q21 (80.060– 80.160 Mb) in 6 HapMap populations as indicated on the left (ASW: African ancestry in Southwest USA, CEU: Utah residents with Northern and Western European ancestry from the CEPH collection, CHB: Han Chinese in Beijing, China, JPT: Japanese in Tokyo, Japan, MEX: Mexican ancestry in Los Angeles, California, YRI: Yoruban in Ibadan, Nigeria). Intensity of the block colors is proportional to the strength of the LD (based on pairwise marker to marker r2 values with black =r2 > 0.80 to grey= r2 < 0.80).
