Sequence variation in human succinate dehydrogenase genes: evidence for long-term balancing selection on <it>SDHA</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Balancing selection operating for long evolutionary periods at a locus is characterized by the maintenance of distinct alleles because of a heterozygote or rare-allele advantage. The loci under balancing selection are distinguished b...
