Risk Allele Lost refers to relative loss of risk allele compared to non-risk allele. Number in parentheses indicates percentage of total heterozygous samples showing relative loss of risk allele.

Non-risk Allele Lost refers to relative loss of non-risk allele compared to risk allele. Number in parentheses indicates percentage of total heterozygous samples showing relative loss of non-risk allele.
