Haplotypes
Haplotype is a generalization of the
concept of genotype to multiple loci
Recombination is not random, but rather
tends to occur at hot spots
This gives rise to blocks of DNA
(haplotypes), where there is very little
recombination within blocks but extensive
recombination between blocks

The raw estimate that this produces is that 45% of the total
variation for height (and hence 56% of the heritability) in the
Brisbane cohort can be explained by common SNPs (regardless
of their significance).
By accounting for imperfect linkage disequilibrium between
tagging and causal variants, Yang et al. up their estimate of
common variant effects from 56% to at least 67% of the genetic
contribution to height.
A further correction assumes that causal variants are likely to be
deleterious and hence at lower frequency than tagging SNPs,
and in this case leads to the conclusion that most of the
heritability for height can be captured by common variants.
