Figure 6.

Heatmap of linkage disequilibrium (LD) for significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Tile colors represent the R² value for each pairwise SNP (top right half), where R² represents the degree of association between two SNPs. Significance of association between pairs of SNPs is represented in the bottom half of the figure (the p-value of the R² value, legend in the bottom right). The horizontal line at the bottom is each chromosome with the identified SNPs being shown as black lines pointing to the corresponding placement on the plot.
