Figure 3.4 Analysis of Linkage DisequilibriumÂ
In the Result Table, the values shown for each pair of markers are indicative of the strength of linkage disequilibrium between the pair. In the LD Decay Plot, you can see that linkage disequilibrium generally declines exponentially as the distance between the markers increases.
