Thirteen replacement polymorphisms occur in humans. One of them occurs uniquely in the background of the haplotype containing the premature stop. The M–K test was computed including and excluding that replacement change (numbers of polymorphisms and P values in parentheses).
All fixed differences are in comparison with the orangutan sequence.
