Haplotype-Based Association and Linkage Analysis of Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme(ACE) Gene with a Hypertension
2005
In this study we investigate the association between the haplotype block of 4 SNPs in ACE genes and hypertension with a case-control dataset of size of 277 and 40 families data collected from Kangwha studies. To this end we perform a haplotype-based case-control association study and a haplotype-based TDT study. We do the same analysis with tag-SNPs that can identify the haplotype block. Through a cladogram analysis we make the evolution-tree of haplotypes and then classify the haplotypes into a few clades by collecting haplotypes exposed to the disease to the same extent. We also discuss the association between these clades and hypertension.
