This study performed CYP2C9 sequencing on 14 or 15 African–American samples. Of these, 1 of 14 had CYP2C9*8, 4 of 15 (0.133) had CYP2C9*9 (p.H251R) and several noncoding or synonymous variants were identified. The frequency of CYP2C9*1 was therefore calculated as 1 – the sum of CYP2C9*8 and *9.

n: Number of alleles; ND: Not determined.
