Impact of SNP types on the likelihood of disease association.

<p>For each of the nine SNP types, the likelihood of disease associations was estimated as the percentage of disease-associated SNPs among all SNPs measured in the HapMap 3 project. Similar likelihoods were observed among nsSNPs, sSNPs, and SNPs in the 5′-UTR. The number of disease-associated SNPs and SNPs measured in the HapMap 3 project were specified in the parenthesis.
