Genetic differentiation within Britain. The WTCCC1 Study identified rs1042712 in the lactase gene as the most highly differentiated of the ∼0.5 million SNPs typed, possibly reflecting the influence of natural selection on the lactase persistence phenotype. Its minor allele frequency ranges from 9.4% (light grey) to 14.6% (dark grey) (redrawn from WTCCC1 data). Future genetic analyses of the PoBI samples should provide further insights into genetic differentiation within Britain.
