of AIMs in association tests for an admixed population (African Americans). Similar to the subject sets containing individuals from multiple continents, these studies showed that relatively small numbers of highly informative SNP AIMs (64 or more) can adequately adjust for population substructure and eliminate false positive results. Additional studies will be necessary to determine the efficacy of these AIMs in more complex sample sets and other population groups.
