Figure 2

Regional association plot on 9q34 for SNP-ALP associations. The horizontal axis shows the chromosomal positions in the NCBI build 36 genome sequences. In the upper part of the figure, the black dots represent P values of SNPs genotyped by Affymetrix SNP array. The sky blue line shows the recombination rates given by the Hapmap release 22. The middle green arrows indicate the RefSeq genes. The lower part of the figure shows a LD map of r² values drawn by the Haploview software (http://www.broadinstitute.org/haploview/haploview) using release 22 HapMap genotype data of the Chinese (CHB) and Japanese (JPT).
