a

Carrier frequency of a sequence variant is <1/200, if reported in gnomAD.50

b

Diagnostic laboratory data was not used for carrier frequency data.

c

Specific data for general US population not available; however, recognized as common among many US immigrant populations.62

d

This term is no longer used by the journal but is used in the original article to which these studies refer. We have therefore not changed the term but recognize it does not accurately describe the ancestry of the populations originally studied.46
