Linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure of the CRP tag-SNPs genotyped in the sample of SAPPHIRe study. The LD structure was analyzed using the Haploview (v. 4.2) program. The upper diagram presents the pair-wise LD levels measured by Lewontin’s |D’|, while the lower diagram presents the pair-wise LD levels measured by r ².
