The EasyLINKAGE program²⁶ was used. The physical positions are according to UCSC Feb 2009 (GRCh37/hg19) assembly. For reference, the common homozygosity-by-descent (HBD) locus for the Pakistani family and the Iranian family⁵ extends from SNPs rs1824938 (5.092 Mb) to rs2914296 (7.657 Mb), and NSUN2 is located between 6.599 and 6.633 Mb.
