Percentage of Haplotypes Accounted for by the Most Common Haplotypes
| Population | Number of Most Common Haplotypes | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 35 | 40 | |
| Okinawa | 66.8 | 82.6 | 89.9 | 94.1 | 96.5 | 97.4 | 97.5 | 97.6 |
| JPT | 46.9 | 61.1 | 69.7 | 75.4 | 79.9 | 83.7 | 86.9 | 89.5 |
| CHB | 47.3 | 61.4 | 70.1 | 75.7 | 80.1 | 84 | 87.3 | 89.9 |
| CEU | 40.9 | 54.5 | 62.4 | 67.1 | 68.8 | 69 | 69 | 69 |
| YRI | 26.1 | 38.4 | 46.6 | 51.8 | 54 | 54.2 | 54.3 | 54.3 |
Notes: Comparison of the haplotype coverage between the Okinawans and four HapMap populations (JPT: Japanese, CHB: Han Chinese, CEU: Caucasian from Utah, YRI: Yoruban from Nigeria). These results suggest that the Okinawans have a much lower haplotype diversity compared with the four HapMap populations and, therefore, are more genetically homogeneous.
