To access the data, click or select the words “Appendix 1”. This will initiate the download of a compressed (zip) archive that contains the file. This file should be uncompressed with an appropriate program (the particular program will depend on your operating system). We found mutations in 203 alleles. The fourth column shows the frequency of the different mutations among the alleles. Novel mutations are bold and underlined.
