Population variability parameters for the coding region of human PAX9

Parameter	Native Americans	Europeans	Asians	Total
Chromosomes	114	30	28	172
η	4	2	1	7
ηs	2	0	0	2
π	1.3 ± 0.4	8.3 ± 0.8	2.5 ± 0.9	3.2 ± 0.5
θw	7.3 ± 4.0	4.9 ± 3.6	2.5 ± 2.5	6.8 ± 3.6
Tajima’s D	−1.59†	1.40‡	−0.02	−0.98
Fu and Li’s D*	−2.74†	0.80‡	0.60	−1.65
Fu and Li’s F*	−2.79†	1.13‡	0.50	−1.69

η is the number of segregating sites; η^s is the number of singletons; π and θ_w are given in 10⁴ ± standard deviations.

^†Statistically significant under the assumption of constant population size (Tajima’s D, P = 0.02; Fu and Li’s D*P = 0.003; Fu and Li’s F*, P = 0.01).

^‡Statistically significant under the assumption of 100-fold population expansion (Tajima’s D, P = 0.008; Fu and Li’s D*, P = 0.01; Fu and Li’s F*, P = 0.01).
