The Role of Mutation Rate Variation and Genetic Diversity in the Architecture of Human Disease

BACKGROUND: We have investigated the role that the mutation rate and the structure of genetic variation at a locus play in determining whether a gene is involved in disease. We predict that the mutation rate and its genetic diversity should be higher in genes associated with disease, unless all gene...
