Genetic Variability of RXRB, PPARA, and PPARG in Wegener's Granulomatosis

Figure 2

LD between WG associated variations of the 6p21.3 genomic region. HLA-DPB1 is modelled as a biallelic marker with the associated HLA-DPB1*0401 as one allele and all other alleles joint into the other allelic category. LD is plotted as D and intensity coded (darker shades corresponding to higher degree of LD). Both RXRB SNPs investigated in this study (rs9277935 and rs2744537) are in high LD with HLA-DPB1 as well as with the markers analyzed by Heckmann et al. (2008): rs3117228 (3 of HLA-DPB1) and rs213208 (intronic SNP in RING1, approx. 10 kb centromeric of RXRB).
