Frequency of BMI-increasing allele computed using FREQ module in S.A.G.E. Frequency of BMI-increasing allele among five HapMap populations: Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria (YRI), Utah residents with ancestry from northern and western Europe (CEU), Han Chinese in Beijing, China (CHB), Japanese in Tokyo, Japan (JPT), Mexican ancestry in Los Angeles, California. HWE p value computed using founders in PLINK (Purcell et al. 2007)
