Thomas et al. genotyped the rs12979860 SNP in 2371 person from 51 distinct populations. The frequency map shows the proportional prevalence of the C (associated with HCV clearance) and T (associated with persistence) alleles. People in East and Southeast Asia have the lowest frequency of the alleles associated with HCV persistence; people in Europe have intermediate incidence, and the highest frequencies are found in sub-Saharan Africa.
