Replication Data for: Haplotype heterogeneity and low linkage disequilibrium reduce reliable prediction of genotypes for the ‑α3.7I form of α-thalassaemia using genome-wide microarray data

This is a replication dataset for the submitted manuscript: "Haplotype heterogeneity and low linkage disequilibrium reduce reliable prediction of genotypes for the α3.7I form of α-thalassaemia using genome-wide microarray data". The dataset contains genotyped α-thalassemia mutations from more than 6,000 individuals from Kilifi, Kenya. These data along with their corresponding Illumina HumanOmni2.5-4 microarray data was used to investigate the haplotype structure of α-thalassemia deletion variants in the population, and the potential utility of a wide range of indirect GWAS-based approaches, including the microarray-chip intensity data and haplotype imputation, as an alternative to direct typing. Version notes: This revision was made following review of the primary manuscript related to this data package and includes 2 updated files and an additional data file with associated descriptions file.
