Figure 1 Genetic Information: SNPs and Haplotypes
The C-reactive protein (CRP) gene structure, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and haplotypes; (A)
CRP consists of 2 exons comprising coding regions (darkest shading) and noncoding regions (medium shading) and has 7 common SNPs indicated by rs numbers and relative position. (B) Sequencing traces of a G/C SNP in exon 2 shows the G/G version (black peak, top) and G/C version (black/blue peak, bottom). (C) Different combinations of alleles at each of the 7 SNP positions create 6 common haplotypes for this set of CRP SNPs. Illustration by Rob Flewell.
