PTPRE sequenced regions and characteristics of identified SNPs.

SNPs marked in bold have been genotyped and analyzed.Abbreviations used: bp = base pairs, SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism, MAF = Minor allele frequency, SLSJ = Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, CEU = CEPH Utah residents with ancestry from northern and western Europe, NA = Not available.*Base pair numbering according to NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) genome assembly (Build 36.2).?If known from NCBI SNP and Ensembl (http://www.ensembl.org/index.html) databases, reported by the NCBI rs#.?Calculated on 39 individuals originating from the SLSJ population.��Obtained from the HapMap international project database (http://www.hapmap.org/).
