Homozygosity haplotype allows a genomewide search for the autosomal segments shared among patients
Article Abstract:
The homozygosity haplotype (HH) a haplotype described by the homozygous SNPs are introduced to search patients' autosomes for shared chromosomal segments derived from a common ancestor. A family affected with Marfan disease and patients with model multigene diseases were studied and it was found that the HH successfully detected the shared segments from members of this large family and also form patients with model multigene disease.

Haplotype homozygosity and derived alleles in the human genome
Article Abstract:
A simple pairwise metric of haplotype homozygosity is shown to give significantly higher mean values for human single-nucleotide-polymorphism alleles that appear to be derived than for those that appear to be ancestral, as determined by comparison with the chimpanzee genome. Results support the use of haplotype-based techniques, such as extended haplotypic homozygosity, to assess the age of alleles.
