Next, we partitioned these SNPs within a bin into “sub-bins” based on r2≥0.8 in the Asian and African American populations. The higher threshold of 0.8 was used for sub-bins in the other populations to refine the focus of the analyses. In Asians, we identified 20 sub-bins for bin A, 39 sub-bins for bin B, 24 sub-bins for bin C, and 7 sub-bins for bin D. In African Americans, we identified 38 sub-bins for bin A, 37 sub-bins for bin B, 26 sub-bins for bin C, and 7 sub-bins for bin D.
