“…The highest frequency of the minor allele (T allele) has been observed in Scandinavian countries [12.3% in Sweden (Reddy et al, 2005) and 15.5% in Finland (Seldin et al, 2005)]. Minor allele frequencies in Western Europe have ranged from 7 to 10% [Spain, 7-7.4% (Orozco et al, 2005); France, 9.2% (Wipff et al, 2006); Germany, 10% (Jagiello et al, 2005); UK, 10.3% (Hinks et al, 2006), and Italy, 2.1% (Bottini et al, 2004)]. The C1858T SNP is considerably less polymorphic in non-Caucasian populations such as Colombian (4.3%) and Moroccan populations (3.22%) (Gomez et al, 2005b;Lamsyah et al, 2009 Table 2.…”
