[However, the interesting finding of strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) between the markers and significant disease-specific distortion in the distribution of HTT-3'UTR-SNP genotypes (T1chi(2)=5.19, P=0.02; OR=2.89, 95% CI=1.13-7.41) and the specific haplotypes of the two markers (LRS=11.85, p(c)=0.02), with higher frequencies of T/T genotype and 10-T haplotype in autistic cases suggests that either these markers or nearby markers of SLC6A4 that are in LD, may pose a risk towards autism in the Eastern Indian population.].
