Abbreviations: NROH1, number of runs of homozygosity longer than 1 cM but shorter than 2 cM; NROH2, number of runs of homozygosity longer than 2 cM but shorter than 5 cM. Consanguinity scores of 1 and 2 represent populations that permit and prefer cousin unions, respectively. Regression (beta) coefficients for each region are expressed using NROH10 in the Americas as baseline. Ten genetic PCs (calculated for the full sample) were also included in the model, but their beta coefficients are not shown. Poisson dispersion parameter = 4.01, p-value = 0.
