haplotype
A haplotype is a set of DNA variations or polymorphisms that tend to be inherited together. It refers to a group of genes or a combination of alleles (variations of the same gene) within an organism that are inherited together from a single parent. Haplotypes can be used to study genetic linkage and to understand the functionality of different genes, as well as the genetic diversity within different populations.

Haplotype
A haplotype in genetics is a combination of alleles at adjacent locations on a chromosome that are inherited together. A haplotype may be one locus, several loci, or an entire chromosome depending on the number of recombination events that have occurred between a given set of loci. A second meaning of the term haplotype is a set of single-nucleotide polymorphisms on a single chromosome of a chromosome pair that are associated statistically. It is thought that these associations, and the identification of a few alleles of a haplotype sequence, can unambiguously identify all other polymorphic sites in its region. Such information is very valuable for investigating the genetics of common diseases, and has been investigated for the human species by the International HapMap Project. Many genetic testing companies use the term 'haplotype' to refer to an individual collection of short tandem repeat allele mutations within a genetic segment, while using the term 'haplogroup' to refer to the SNP/unique-event polymorphism mutations which represents the clade to which a collection of potential haplotypes belong.
