    <p>Summary of linkage data for the twelve families included in the NPL analysis. The linkage <i>p</i>-values were computed using Merlin [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0116845#pone.0116845.ref033" target="_blank">33</a>]. The power was assessed using simulations (see Methods).</p><p>Summary of non-parametric linkage results in twelve multiply affected disease pedigrees.</p

    <p>Only post quality filtered SNVs and indels were included in each analytical test. A, Not in dbSNP132, <5% MAF in 1000G, <10% MAF in coeliac exomes, not in 101 control exomes (54 ultra rare diseases from Kings College London and 47 Environmental Genome Project samples from University of Washington). B, Rare allele defined as MAF <0.5% in 1000G (n = 1092) for 220 controls and 41 unrelated coeliac exomes. C, MAF <0.5%, only variants predicted to be damaging and regions without duplications.</p

    <p>LD decay was measured using the D’ index, which was derived based on the genotypes of 4,803 UK controls. Markers occurring with a minor allele frequency (MAF) <0.1 were excluded from the analysis, as variation at these loci is likely to be the result of recent mutational events. The plot documents the analysis of 147 SNPs, randomly selected from the 373 variants that had a MAF >0.1 (see Methods for details). The top panel shows the position of <i>PSORS1</i> genes (the <i>HCG27</i> pseudogene is shaded in grey), with the region of LD conservation around <i>HLA-C</i> highlighted by a double arrow.</p
