  • Affiliations for two authors were listed incorrectly. Affiliation 9 should read "Facultad de Medicina and Laboratorios de Investigación y Desarrollo, Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Lima, Peru". Giovanni Poletti should be listed with affiliation 8.

  • On p. 671 it was stated that &theta was estimated using equation 5.12 of Weir (1996). This is not correct. Actually, &theta was estimated using the GDA (Genetic Data Analysis) software of P. O. Lewis and D. Zaykin. The computation was therefore done by separately computing for each allele at each locus the numerator and the denominator of the first equation on p. 173. The overall estimate of &theta was then obtained as the ratio of the mean of the numerators and the mean of the denominators.

  • In the denominator of eq. 4, (n-1/n) should be (n-1)/n.

  • On p. 1468, line 6, H_{k-1} and k-1 should be replaced with H_k and k respectively. In the following equation line, H_{k-1} should be replaced with H_k. The equation marked (10) is correct.

  • In Supplementary Figure 1A, the yellow component of the pie chart (1.33%) should refer to "Africa, Central/South Asia, Europe, Middle East". The percent associated with "Africa, Central/South Asia, East Asia, Middle East" is 1.00%.
