Different TagSNPs lists in Haploview and HapMap

Hi everyone,

It has been recommended that in order to well design your genetic association study, it is better to choose tagSNPs. I've started the process using UCSC and HapMap databases to get a sample genotypes for the gene of interest. Then, using Haploview program, I obtained a list of TagSNPs under the results button of the Tagger option. Unfortunately, the list obtained was different from that in the Haplotypes option---Show tags in blocks( in the same program ). It was also different from that showed in the HapMap database--tag SNP Picker. Therefore, I was confused about which list is the correct one to be chosen to complete the process with ( testing the functionality and previously published clinical associations ).

So, kindly I'm looking for your help to solve this problem.

Thanks a lot.

Why do you need tagSNPs, are you designing a new Chip? Nowadays it may be cheaper to buy a commercial chip from Illumina/Affimetrix, or do NGS directly.
