doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0034113
Figure Lengend Snippet: At the top the SNPs are shown according to their succession from the start of translation of the FCN2 gene. Empty squares indicate a high degree of LD (LD coefficient D′ = 1) between pairs of markers. Numbers indicate the D′ value expressed as a percentile. Red squares indicate pairs in strong LD with LOD scores for LD ≥2; purple squares, D′ = 1 with LOD = 2; white squares , D′ <1.0 and LOD ≤2.
Article Snippet: The ficolin-2 concentrations were measured in sera in 70 Syrian Arab controls using the human ficolin-2 ELISA kit (Hycult Biotech Cat.#: HK336, Uden, The Netherlands) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
