Abstract

The goal of the International HapMap Project is to determine the common patterns of DNA sequence variation in the human genome and to make this information freely available in the public domain. An international consortium is developing a map of these patterns across the genome by determining the genotypes of one million or more sequence variants, their frequencies and the degree of association between them, in DNA samples from populations with ancestry from parts of Africa, Asia and Europe. The HapMap will allow the discovery of sequence variants that affect common disease, will facilitate development of diagnostic tools, and will enhance our ability to choose targets for therapeutic intervention.

  • HapMap demonstrated that the allelic structure of the genome is segmented into haplotype blocks, each containing sets of correlated variants.

    “Systematic efforts to characterize genome-wide patterns of genomic variation, initially through the HapMap Consortium2, proved catalytic, demonstrating that the allelic structure of the genome was segmented into haplotype blocks, each containing sets of correlated variants.”

  • For common variants underlying the bulk of complex-disease risk, resolution of association mapping is often limited by the haplotype structure of the human genome.

    “For the common variants that underlie the bulk of complex-disease risk, the resolution of association mapping is often limited by the haplotype structure of the human genome2–4.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
