F5-150

F1, F2, and F3 are the 3 PCR fragments used to assay the known single nucleotide polymorphisms. Nucleotide (nt) positions shown in boldface (nt 318, 542, and 595) are new mutation sites not previously reported. Nt 1096 in F3 is not shown here because it is within the region to which the sequencing primer ABOi7R5 anneals. Note that deletions are denoted by dashes.

F5-151

Ov1 and Ov4 were found in Chinese and also previously reported in Japanese,8 whereas the rest were found in white Europeans and were new alleles.

F5-152

N refers to the number of chromosomes found for each rare allele.
