Base frequencies and haplotypes of HERV-K106 3'LTR with haplotype frequencies in various ethnic groups within the United States.

Table 2 Notes1Alleles at all three SNP sites in HERV-K106 3′ LTR consisted of two alternate nucleotide bases with one being predominant than the other (133: C>T, 403: G>A, and 835: C>T). Using these SNP four haplotypes of HERV-K106 could be constructed.2The most common haplotype was C-G-C (f = 0.90) followed by T-A-C (f = 0.05), C-G-T (f = 0.02) and T-G-C (f = 0.02).377% of African American and 91% European Americans in our study had CGC haplotype of HERV-K106 LTR. CGC was also the most prevalent in a heterogeneous sample labeled as ‘others’ that consisted of a few (n
