Fig 3. Geographic Location of GST M1-T1 null allele frequency patterns in Scattered Plot.

This scenario is largely a speculation based on Nei’s D_ST based phylogenetic trees in Figs. 1 and 2, which suggest seven patterns for GST M1-T1 null allele frequency among the 45 geographically assorted human populations. The scattered plot shows the genetic affinity and geographical distribution of the seven probable patterns with three major split among the continental regions such as an “African” split with South African Xhosa pattern (I), an “out of Africa” split with East African Zimbabwe (II), East African Ethiopia (III), North African Egypt (IV) patterns and an “other than Africa” split with South Asian Afghanistan (V), West Asian Caucasian (VI), South Asian Indian Andhra Pradesh patterns (VII). Abbreviations used were same as those in Table 1.
