Provides important insight into the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphism variation and the haplotype structure of a single gene by sequencing the gene from 142 chromosomes. Recognition of the extent of variation in the gene studied has made clearer the difficult challenge of recognizing single nucleotide polymorphism variation or combinations of single nucleotide polymorphism variation that underlie disease susceptibility.

Introduced the use of high-density DNA arrays for the study of human gene sequence variation and compared the ability of this technique with detect variation with direct sequencing. These studies have given the first comprehensive view of human sequence diversity across the genome and permit reliable representations of both the types and frequency of such variation.

Denaturing HPLC has proven to be a valuable tool in novel single nucleotide polymorphism detection because of its accuracy and capacity for automation. The authors discuss their identification of human Y chromosome variation and demonstrate how this information can be applied to examining the genetic relationships between geographically separate contemporary human populations.

Using DNA chips and denaturing HPLC, 106 genes were screened over 11 4 chromosomes to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms and to determine coding sequence variation in the human population. Five hundred six single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified; 392 were in coding sequence, of which approximately half caused synonymous and half caused nonsynonymous changes. This study provides a broad representation of the type and frequency of single nucleotide polymorphism variation in human genes.

By screening 75 genes and 148 chromosomes, 874 single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified. Among those identifies, 44% were in the coding sequence, of which 54% lead to a change in the predicted protein encoded.

Using the allelic variation described in reference 16, Clark et al. reconstructed the haplotype structure of the genetic variation in the LPL gene and described aspects of the evolutionary processes that produced this variation. Their analysis indicates that gene exhibits considerable population structure (ie, segregating variants with different frequencies in one group than another). Furthermore, they found evidence of abundant intragenic recombination so that recombination and mutation contributed approximately equally to the creation of existing human haplotypes in this gene.
