  1. Correspondences to categories were based on the percentage of occurrence of alleles above (common allele) and below (rare allele) the five per cent mark, as well as the number of populations (locations) in which the allele was detected within the Swiss (CH), Norwegian (NO) and Bulgarian (BG) region.
