Global Distributions of the 4q and 10q SSLP Alleles
Pie charts showing the allele frequency of the SSLP locus on 4q and 10q chromosomes in seven major global regions (Africa [n = 138], Middle East [n = 163], Europe [n = 175], South and Central Asia [n = 205], East Asia [n = 241], Oceania [n = 30], and America [n = 77]). The color key is indicated on the left. Each population has a unique distribution of 4q and 10q alleles; the oldest (African) populations show the highest variation in the number of alleles, and the youngest (American) populations show the lowest variation.
