BDNF haplotype block structure. The numbers within the diamonds are D' values representing linkage disequilibrium between SNP pairs. Only values of D'<98 are present so the solid red diamonds represent absolute LD (D' = 1) and the grey diamonds represent high probability or evidence of historical recombination. Two short sub-blocks of 4 kb and 13 kb long were determined with use of Haploview software and used for detailed analysis. The blocks are defined using the pairs of SNPs with an LD >0.85. Note that BDNF gene is located on minus DNA strand.
