Fig. 2: Proportional association of African ancestry between whole genome and MHC region.

African ancestry—YRI proportion (MHC region) estimated by RFmix2 software based on the MHC region; YRI proportion (Whole genome) estimated by ADMIXTURE analysis across whole genome; the histogram on the x-axis and y-axis shows the distribution of YRI proportions in the MHC region and whole genome, respectively. The correlation coefficient (R) between the two proportions is 0.62; YRI, Yoruba in Ibadan from Nigeria; MHC, Major Histocompatibility Complex.
