Expected heterozygosity, HET(Exp), observed heterozygosity, HET(Obs), and inbreeding coefficient, F, for the AJ, Euro, and EA populations. One SNP of a pair was pruned out of the dataset if the pair was in high LD, defined as pairwise r² > 0.5. The shading of rows highlights the AJ population with the corresponding SNP-matched European population.

**P < 1e-40 and *P < 1e-7 for AJ compared with its paired European population (t test).
