2 Figure 1 Combined Site-Frequency Spectrum of European American and African American Cases and Controls Site-frequency spectrum of 1,225 variants identified through the resequencing of coding exons and flanking noncoding regions of nine candidate asthma-associated genes in 450 cases (108 European American and 342 African American) and 515 controls (248 European American and 267 African American). We resampled a total of 100 chromosomes in each of the European American and African American cases and controls to account for missing data and differences in sample size. Derived alleles were pooled for variants with >2 alleles; we used data from the chimpanzee to infer ancestral states. Plots for individual genes are shown in Figure S1.
