Figure 2. Predicted distribution of T2D risk from common variants by racial/ethnic group compared to European Americans.

Figure 2

Comparison of the predicted risk distributions conveyed by the risk alleles relative to European Americans (Blue in Panels A–D): Panel A, African Americans (Red); Panel B, Latinos (Yellow); Panel C, Japanese Americans (Brown); Panel D, Native Hawaiians (Green). The x-axis is the log relative risk for each population centered (at log RR = 0) around the average total risk allele count in the multiethnic sample (18.5). The y-axis is the relative frequency of the population with that level of risk.
