[i] “—” means site did not vary. SNP = single nucleotide polymorphisms; J = Jackson; N = North Karelia; R = Rochester.

[ii] Position of the variant position in the reference sequence, GenBank AF261279.

[iii] Frequency of the least common allele (nucleotide listed second under Variant Type).

[iv] Probabilities were assessed by a Fisher exact test for the resulting 2 × 3 table: *P < 0.05; ** = P < 0.01; *** = P < 0.001; NS = nonsignificant.

[v] These sites were typed in approximately 188 individuals from the population sample without detecting the alternative allele.
