I have a bunch of CNVs which I have estimated LD between each allele of CNV with all SNPs across the entire human genome. I used my R-script to do a pairwise LD analysis.

The following is the first few lines of my output for the first alternative allele of CNV and some SNPs on chromosome 2 (just as an example)

CNV_chrom  CNV_allele  SNP_chrom  SNP_position  R2
"1" "  CNV2"   "2"        " 1000"    "-0.0463767871013283" 
"1" "  CNV2"   "2"        " 1029"    "-0.201478578143067" 
"1" "  CNV2"   "2"        " 1044"    "-0.595441932439136"
"1" "  CNV2"   "2"        " 1045"    "-0.60363963711489"
"1" "  CNV2"   "2"        " 1130"    "0.377970958849221" 

I want to plot the LD results (LD between each allele of CNV and all SNPs) ,is there any way that I could do it in R?

I have not done LD plotting before so just slightly confused.

I saw for instance LDheatmap package in R, but do not know how can I summarize the results for thousands of SNPs. Thanks for any suggestion


Summary of LDHeatmap

Produces a graphical display, as a heat map, of measures of pairwise linkage disequilibria between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Users may optionally include the physical locations or genetic map distances of each SNP on the plot.
