^aThe paired Fst value is the mean determined from three nonoverlapping sets of 3,500 SNPs using the Weir and Cockerham algorithm (24). Complete data including the standard deviation is provided in Supplemental Table 2.
^bPopulation groups included Druze, Bedouin (BDN), Palestinian (PAL), Ashkenazi Jewish American (AJA), Greek (GRK), Italian (ITN), Adygei (ADY), Spanish (SPN), Basque (BAS), IRISH, German (GERM), Eastern European (EEUR), Russian (RUS), Swedish (SWED), Orcadian (ORC), Sardinian (SARD), and Tuscan (TUSC).
