A genome-wide linkage disequilibrium (LD) map was generated using
microsatellite genotypes (284 autosomal microsatellite loci) of 581 gametes sampled from the dutch black-and-white dairy cattle population.
LD was measured between all marker pairs, both syntenic and
nonsyntenic. Analysis of syntenic pairs revealed surprisingly high
levels of LD that, although more pronounced for closely linked marker
pairs, extended over several tens of centimorgan. In addition, significant gametic associations were also shown to be very common between nonsyntenic loci. Simulations using the known genealogies of
the studied sample indicate that random drift alone is likely to
account for most of the observed disequilibrium. No clear evidence was
obtained for a direct effect of selection ("Bulmer effect"). The
observation of long range disequilibrium between syntenic loci using
low-density marker maps indicates that LD mapping has the potential to
be very effective in livestock populations. The frequent occurrence of
gametic associations between nonsyntenic loci, however, encourages the
combined use of linkage and linkage disequilibrium methods to avoid
false positive results when mapping genes in livestock.
