Correlation Coefficient of Allele Frequencies in India with Linear Combinations of the Allele Frequencies in Europe and East Asia, as a Function of the Fraction of the Linear Combination Drawn from Europe

Abstract

<p>Graphs with “all populations” compare the frequencies in the pooled Indian sample with linear combinations of the pooled European/Middle Eastern sample and the pooled East Asian sample; graphs with “larger populations” exclude the Parsi group from the Indian sample and utilize only the pooled French, Italian, and Russian genotypes in Europe and the pooled Han Chinese and Japanese genotypes in East Asia. The maxima of the four graphs, from top to bottom, occur at (0.685, 0.967), (0.656, 0.957), (0.679, 0.918), and (0.654, 0.898), respectively. The analysis considers all alleles found worldwide at the 715 microsatellites and 207 indels.</p
