The major interest is currently in neurobiology, including alternative splicing in neurospecific genes. Newly arrived data on enhancer identification makes it relevant to reassess certain GWAS loci in intronic and intergenic regions. Haplotyping methods should be adjusted in coping with population - specific haploblock variation, which is currently not addressed adequately. Proposed herein is the use of PCA to elucidate consequence of population - specific haploblocks variation and linkage profile specifics in GWAS-rich regions.
