Figure 1. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) plot of the CTSS locus in cases and random subcohort.

This Figure shows LD (linkage disequilibrium) values (r²) between each tag SNP in (A) cases and (B) subcohort. Each diamond contains the LD value (r²) between the two SNPs that face each of the upper sides of the diamond, ex: the LD between rs10888390 (SNP N°3) and rs1136774 (SNP N°4) is r² = 0.62; the darker the diamond, the higher the LD value. There seems to be no difference in the LD pattern at the CTSS locus between the cases and the subcohort.
