Cardon A high-resolution linkage-disequilibrium map of the human major histocompatibility complex and first generation of tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms Am J Hum Genet 76 2005 634 646 This is the first high-resolution (1.9Kb) LD map of the human MHC in large pedigrees, and the first generation of tagSNP polymorphisms that provide up to a 5x increase in genotyping efficiency. It sets the standard for future MHC-linked disease association studies. The data are consistent with previous recombination hotspots in class II gene clusters and predict those in class I and class III gene clusters. Extended haplotype homozygosity (EHH) analysis, which indicates recent positive selection, identifies 14 such markers on a single extended haplotype bearing HLA-DRB1*1501. The graphic illustrations of LD, especially the long region over the olfactory receptor gene cluster (OLFR) genes, are superb.

This finding begs the question of whether the functions of these TRIM genes relate to antigen presentation or MHC-related disease resistance.
