引言：基因组中的隐藏模式
人类基因组包含约30亿个碱基对，但并非所有变异都是独立的。当我们观察基因组时，会发现某些区域的变异倾向于一起遗传，这种现象被称为连锁不平衡（Linkage Disequilibrium, LD）。正是这种现象导致了基因组中形成所谓的单倍型块（Haplotype Blocks）——这些是基因组中相对较小、高度保守的区域，其中的变异模式可以代表整个区域的遗传信息。
单倍型块的发现彻底改变了我们理解人类遗传变异的方式。通过研究这些块状结构，科学家们能够：
- 大幅减少基因分型所需的标记数量
- 更准确地定位致病基因
- 预测个体对复杂疾病的易感性
- 指导个性化医疗方案的制定
本文将深入探讨单倍型块的概念、识别方法、生物学意义以及在疾病风险预测中的实际应用，帮助读者理解如何”破解”基因组中的这些遗传密码。
1. 单倍型块的基本概念
1.1 什么是单倍型块？
单倍型块是指基因组中一组紧密连锁的单核苷酸多态性（SNP）位点，这些位点在人群中倾向于以特定的组合方式共同遗传。简单来说，如果你知道块中某个SNP的等位基因，你就能相当准确地预测块中其他SNP的等位基因。
关键特征：
- 高连锁不平衡：块内SNP之间存在强相关性
- 有限的重组事件：历史上的重组事件较少
- 有限的常见单倍型：通常只有少数几种常见的单倍型组合
1.2 连锁不平衡（LD）的数学基础
连锁不平衡是理解单倍型块的核心概念。它衡量的是两个位点上等位基因非随机关联的程度。
D’（D prime）计算示例：
假设我们有两个SNP位点：SNP1（等位基因A/a）和SNP2（等位基因B/b）
等位基因频率：
P(A) = 0.6, P(a) = 0.4
P(B) = 0.5, P(b) = 0.5
观察到的单倍型频率：
P(AB) = 0.32
P(Ab) = 0.28
P(aB) = 0.18
P(ab) = 0.22
期望频率（如果独立）：
P(A) × P(B) = 0.6 × 0.5 = 0.30
P(A) × P(b) = 0.6 × 0.5 = 0.30
P(a) × P(B) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.20
P(a) × P(b) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.20
连锁不平衡 D = P(AB) - P(A)P(B) = 0.32 - 0.30 = 0.02
标准化的D' = D / Dmax
其中Dmax = min[P(A)P(b), P(a)P(B)] = min[0.30, 0.20] = 0.20
所以D' = 0.02 / 0.20 = 0.1
R²计算（另一个常用指标）：
R² = D² / [P(A)P(a)P(B)P(b)]
= 0.02² / [0.6×0.4×0.5×0.5]
= 0.0004 / 0.06
= 0.0067
解读：
- D’接近1表示强连锁不平衡
- R²=1表示完全连锁，R²=0表示完全独立
- 通常认为D’>0.8或R²>0.8的区域构成单倍型块
1.3 单倍型块的生物学意义
单倍型块的存在反映了人类基因组的进化历史：
- 选择压力：某些单倍型可能提供生存优势，因此被保留下来
- 奠基者效应：历史上某些单倍型从少数祖先个体传播开来
- 重组热点：块边界通常是重组频繁发生的区域
2. 识别和定义单倍型块的方法
2.1 主要算法和工具
2.1.1 Gabriel方法（基于D’）
这是最早且最常用的方法，使用D’置信区间来定义块：
# Python示例：使用Haploview软件的逻辑
# 伪代码展示Gabriel方法的核心判断
def is_in_block(snp1, snp2, confidence_interval=0.9):
"""
判断两个SNP是否属于同一个块（Gabriel标准）
"""
# 计算D'和置信区间
d_prime, ci_low, ci_high = calculate_d_prime_ci(snp1, snp2)
# 判断条件：
# 1. 强连锁：D' > 0.8
# 2. 置信区间下限 > 0.7
# 3. 且上限 > 0.9
if d_prime > 0.8 and ci_low > 0.7 and ci_high > 0.9:
return True
# 或者：无重组证据
if d_prime > 0.98 and ci_low > 0.9:
return True
return False
2.1.2 Four-Gamete方法
基于等位基因组合的完整性：
def four_gamete_block(snp_list):
"""
Four-Gamete规则：如果两个SNP之间出现所有四种可能的
等位基因组合（AB, Ab, aB, ab），则认为发生过重组
"""
blocks = []
current_block = [snp_list[0]]
for i in range(1, len(snp_list)):
# 检查当前SNP与前一个SNP是否形成所有四种组合
observed_combinations = set()
# 遍历所有个体数据
for individual in population_data:
allele1 = individual[snp_list[i-1]]
allele2 = individual[snp_list[i]]
observed_combinations.add((allele1, allele2))
# 如果四种组合都存在，说明发生过重组
if len(observed_combinations) == 4:
blocks.append(current_block)
current_block = [snp_list[i]]
else:
current_block.append(snp_list[i])
blocks.append(current_block)
return blocks
2.1.3 动态规划方法（SPINE）
def spine_block_detection(snp_matrix, threshold=0.9):
"""
基于LD衰减的动态规划方法
"""
n = len(snp_matrix)
block_boundaries = [0]
for i in range(n-1):
# 计算从起始点到当前位置的平均LD
avg_ld = calculate_average_ld(snp_matrix, block_boundaries[-1], i)
# 如果LD衰减到阈值以下，设置新块边界
if avg_ld < threshold:
block_boundaries.append(i)
block_boundaries.append(n)
return block_boundaries
2.2 实用工具和软件

# 输出解释：
# blocks文件包含：SNP1 SNP2 SNP3 ... SNPn
# 每行代表一个单倍型块
2.2.3 Python库：PyHaplo
import pyhaplo
import pandas as pd
# 加载基因型数据
genotypes = pd.read_csv('genotypes.csv', index_col=0)
# 创建单倍型块检测器
block_detector = pyhaplo.BlockDetector(
