Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining haplotypes useful for large-scale genetic analysis, within a genomic reference sequence of interest, for a human subpopulation. The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a human subject for certain biological conditions, which may be related to coronary artery disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides arrays comprising a plurality of polynucleotide probes having sequences complementary to the 3′ untranslated region of a gene transcript, whose chromosomal location has been defined. The arrays are particularly useful for conducting comparative gene expression analyses. The present invention also includes a method of preparing these arrays and various methods of using these arrays for detecting differential expression of multiple gene transcripts amongst multiple subjects. Further provided by the invention are computer readable media recorded thereon an array of polynucleotide probes as specified herein, a computer-based system, and kits for detecting differential expression of a multiplicity of gene transcripts.
