then split into AA and EA datasets based on the clustering techniques described above. We retained 18,564,419 SNPs with derived information content >.8 in at least one of the population groups. After excluding SNPs with MAF < 3% in both AAs and EAs, 11,995,908 SNPs common to both discovery datasets (11,106,284 in AAs, 7,535,791 in EAs) were included in association analyses.
