Figure 1 Worldwide distribution of the active and inactive forms of the caspase-12 gene in the HGDP-CEPH diversity panel. Circle area is proportional to sample size, up to a maximum of 50 individuals.

Figure 2 Structure of the caspase-12 gene. The exon-intron structure—including exon 3, which is present only in some transcripts—is shown at the top, as is the whole sequenced region and the location of the 8.6-kb LD block. The lower part of the figure shows the LD block identified using Haploview. Each square represents a pairwise value of D′, with the standard color coding (red indicates LOD⩾2 and D′=1; pink indicates LOD⩾2 and D′<1; blue indicates LOD<2 and D′=1; white indicates LOD<2 and D′<1).

Figure 3 Inferred caspase-12 haplotypes. Only positions that are variable in humans are shown, coded according to whether they carry the same allele as chimpanzee (white) or not (yellow), except that the stop-codon polymorphism is shown in blue or red, respectively. The low diversity and high frequency of derived alleles can be seen in the inactive genes.

Figure 4 Median-joining network of inferred caspase-12 haplotypes from the 8.6-kb LD block. Roots 1, 2, and 3 are discussed in the text. Circle area is proportional to haplotype frequency, and circles are coded according to population.
