Decay of linkage disequilibrium within genes across HGDP-CEPH human samples: most population isolates do not show increased LD

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>It is well known that the pattern of linkage disequilibrium varies between human populations, with remarkable geographical stratification. Indirect association studies routinely exploit linkage disequilibrium around genes, particular...
