  1. CEU column shows the percentages (%) of European ancestry in CEU, CHB column shows the percentage of Asian ancestry in CHB, and YRI shows the percentage of African ancestry in YRI. For each population group the table shows also the standard deviations (SD), 95% confidence intervals (95%CI), and ranges (minimum-maximum values). Genome ancestry refers to the ancestry measured using the full set of SNPs in HapMap. Training set populations refer to the population groups used to design the AIM panels. AFR: Africa, ASI: Asia, SAS: South Asia, EUR: Europe, AME: America, MEX: Mexico, SAM: South America, OCE: Oceania, PRI: Puerto Rico.
  2. 1Averaged values over all the re-samples.
  3. 2Number of SNPs indicated in round brackets are those contained in the HapMap database.
  4. 3Halder et al. [37] refer to 170 AIMs; however, their supplementary data file refers to 176 AIMs.
