  1. Known allele frequencies from each of the four Hapmap populations (CEU, CHB, JPT and YRI) as provided in the SNP6.0 Sample Data Set, and an average allele frequency across the four populations were compared with the estimated allele frequencies of the 160 case and 160 control samples genotyped on the SNP6.0 platform. The estimated allele frequencies were calculated using beta values obtained from the four individual Hapmap populations and their collated genotypes in the same data set.
