Fig 1. Minor Allele Frequency Differences in EU and AA.
Results of polymorphisms identified by NGS are mapped to the reference human genome used by the 1000 Genomes project (hg18). Vertical lines indicate the Δ MAF (difference between the minor allele frequency in cases versus controls) for each base pair of the genome region investigated. Higher peaks indicate a greater difference in prevalence of that variation between cases and controls, and thus a higher potential for association with schizophrenia risk. The red graph indicates data for Whites and the Blue graph indicates data for African Americans. (A) Δ MAF map for the EGR3 locus, hg18 coordinates chr8:22,591,791–22,612,066. (B) Δ MAF map for the ARC locus, hg18 coordinates chr8:143,682,474–143,697,026
