Question
Q 2.22 - Below are diagrammed six allelic DNA fragments, showing a number of SNP
polymorphisms. Three of these fragments also carry an allele of a gene associated with an
inherited disorder (indicated by D). As a clinical geneticist, you would like to use these SNP
markers to determine whether an individual is at increased risk of getting the disease.
Which of these SNPs would assist you in that determination? Which would not? Justify
your answers.
