From: Capability of common SNPs to tag rare variants

Figure 2

Distribution of the multiple correlation R2 between a rare SNP and a set of common SNPs within a 1-Mb region of the rare SNP. Each point represents a rare SNP. The x-axis is the adjusted between the rare SNP and the common SNPs in set A, and the y-axis is the adjusted between the rare SNP and the common SNPs in set B. SNPs in set B have stronger LD than SNPs in set A, thus set B contains all the SNPs in set A and the SNPs that have stronger LD with those in set A or between themselves. In the left-hand panel, SNPs in set A have LD r2 ≤ 0.8 and SNPs in set B have LD r2 ≤ 0.95. In the right-hand panel, SNPs in set A have LD r2 ≤ 0.95 and SNPs in set B have LD r2 ≤ 0.99.
