8. Finns, West	T−13910	208 (±23)	0.62	0.0434 (0.0391–0.0488)
9. Basques	T−13910	208 (±23)	0.66	0.0457 (0.0412–0.0514)

^aIn populations 1–4, the age estimates were based on the sequence of intron 13 of MCM6 gene (3218 bp), whereas for populations 5–9, the age estimates were based on typing of 9 SNP over a 30 kb region as shown previously.

^bAge estimates were based on Rho statistic (± SD) as shown in Table 2.

^cIn all calculations, the initial gene frequency (p₀) was 0.001.
