MAFs were assessed across the IBCv1 arrays in 6067 DNA samples collated from three studies with five populations of self described ethnicity, screened for cardiovascular traits; Caucasians (n = 4244 European and n = 1054 US Caucasians); African Americans (n = 384) and South Asians (n = 385). All samples described were genotyped following approval by the relevant institutional review boards. In each respective population, the minor allele frequency for each SNP on the IBCv1 array was determined. Histograms were generated with various allele frequency bins to determine the distribution of allele frequencies in each population.
