| LD |
Greater co-occurrence of two genetic markers (on the same chromosome, as a haplotype) in a population than would be expected for independent markers. Usually, LD is generated when the markers are located close together on the same chromosome. When variants of two genetic loci are in strong LD, the variant seen at one locus are predictive of the variant found at the other on an individual chromosome.
