In this study, we developed a multiethnic tagging strategy, exploiting differences in linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure between populations, to comprehensively capture common genetic variation across 60 genes spanning multiple DNA repair pathways, in five racial/ethnic populations." "Over 2600 SNPs were genotyped in each population and single- and multi-marker predictors of common alleles were selected to capture the LD patterns specific to each group. Coding variants (n = 211) were...
