# LDlinkR::LDpop

#' Investigates allele frequencies and linkage disequilibrium
#' patterns across 1000 Genomes Project populations.
#'
#' @param var1 the first RS number or genomic coordinate (e.g. "chr7:24966446")
#' @param var2 the second RS number or genomic coordinate (e.g. "ch7:24966446")
#' @param pop a 1000 Genomes Project population(s), (e.g. YRI or CEU), multiple allowed, default = "CEU"
#' @param r2d either "r2" for LD R2 or "d" for LD D', default = "r2"
#' @param token LDlink provided user token, default = NULL, register for token at  \url{https://ldlink.nih.gov/?tab=apiaccess}
#' @param file Optional character string naming a path and file for saving results.  If file = FALSE, no file will be generated, default = FALSE.
#' @param genome_build Choose between one of the three options...`grch37` for genome build GRCh37 (hg19),
#' `grch38` for GRCh38 (hg38), or `grch38_high_coverage` for GRCh38 High Coverage (hg38) 1000 Genome Project
#' data sets.  Default is GRCh37 (hg19).
#' @param api_root Optional alternative root url for API.
