2 Fig 1 Proportion of participants with a positive skin test response to allergens tested by region of origin. The proportions are represented on a scale in increments of 0.1, ranging from 0 (white) to 1.0 (black).

3 Fig 2 Global ancestry proportions of GALA II Latinos by origin and recruitment site. Diameter of pie charts represents the size of group recruited at each site. Blue, yellow, and orange wedges represent African, European, and Native American ancestry, respectively. Global ancestry proportions for population sizes of less than 20 are not displayed on this map.

4 Fig 3 Ancestral proportions and recruitment site and case-control status. Each plot on these graphs represents a recruitment site. The y-axis represents global estimates of individual Native American ancestral proportion, and the x-axis represents global estimates of individual African ancestral proportion. Asthmatic patients are represented by squares, and nonasthmatic subjects are represented by circles.
