Structural Diversity and African Origin of the 17q21.31 Inversion Polymorphism

Structural Diversity and African Origin of the 17q21.31 Inversion Polymorphism

The 17q21.31 inversion polymorphism exists either as direct (H1) or inverted (H2) haplotypes with differential predispositions to disease and selection. We investigated its genetic diversity in 2700 individuals with an emphasis on African populations. We characterize eight structural haplotypes that...
