Minor allele frequencies for the three variants as reported in different populations

Variant	Population sample set	Minor allele frequency	Hardy–Weinberg goodness of fit*
*The concordance of the observed allele frequencies in our sample set with the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium are represented as a one sided p value of a χ² test. Corresponding values for the other populations are reported where available.
†The NCBI data are taken from the relevant home page (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
‡The allele frequency in the Swedish population for APOε4 is listed as reported by Liljedahl et al.²⁴
§The allele frequencies in the Scandinavian populations for the CCR5 32Bp ins/del variant are listed as reported by Libert et al.²⁵
¶The allele frequency in a Scandinavian population for the PPARγ variant as reported by Altshuler et al.²⁶
