Table 1 Estimates of mutation age for MSH2 1906G > C1.

From: How old is this mutation? - a study of three Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations

Method - Markers

Estimated mutation age (generations)

Estimated mutation age including correction for growth with r = 1.5

  1. 1 Estimates are from Sun et al. (2005) [17].
  2. 2 Results from the 10 markers, individually, are listed in Additional file 2.
  3. 3 The four markers closest to the mutation were excluded since recombination fractions cannot be accurately estimated at those distances.
  4. 4 A Labuda correction of 6.62 generations was applied. This is the median Labuda correction for the six markers further from the mutation.
