  1. Variance inflation and related measures are compared between the data sets HapMap, SFS1 (synthetic family study 1), SFS2, Sorbs and SFS3 assuming \(R^{2}_{\mathrm {h}}=0.9\). Provided are the sample size n, average inflation \(\bar \lambda \) of all SNPs, average inflation \(\bar \lambda _{10\%}\) estimated for SNPs with minor allele frequencies > 10%, expected (theoretical) inflation λ ′ obtained from estimated relationships, expected inflation λ f;m;c′ obtained from true relationships (synthetic family studies only), mean relatedness \(\bar {G}\) and heritability \(R^{2}_{\mathrm {t}}\)corresponding to inflation λt′=1.05. Standard deviations are given in parentheses
