Note.— Only haplotypes showing variable T_n are shown. In calculating the proportion of intact ancestral alleles, P, the major allele was assumed to be ancestral, which is a fragile assumption when made with a low number of chromosomes. The -lnP values were nevertheless calculated, for comparison with S². NA = not applicable.

^aThree B005 chromosomes with T_n allele 15 were not considered in the calculation. We assumed that this length allele was acquired in B005 by recombination rather than by mutation (see text).

^bBecause of the likely origin of three B006 haplotypes in African Americans by admixture (see text), only B006 found in the Rimaibe was retained in the African sample.
