Meeting Purpose

Thank you for your interest in this program; however, we are no longer able to accept registrations due to space limitations.

This meeting will be hosted by the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine/Johns Hopkins University and the National Human Genome Research Institute, to discuss data analysis and methodological issues relevant to the International Haplotype Map Project. This will include approaches to describing linkage disequilibrium, properties of linkage disequilibrium, inference of haplotypes and haplotype frequencies, and methods for utilizing the haplotype map in association and other disease studies. The meeting will provide an important opportunity for a diverse community of investigators (both those involved directly in the project, and those in the broader community) to come together to define and debate a range of issues in the creation of the Haplotype Map resource.

International HapMap Data Analysis Group Planning Committee is pleased to invite you to register for this meeting and encourages the submission of an abstract for participation in the 2004 International HapMap Community Analysis Meeting. Investigators wishing to apply methods to the current data should use the freeze of the HapMap data and of a denser data set, from the ENCODE project, available at www.hapmap.org/genotypes/2004-03/ENCODE/.
