Submitter details for some genotype data that I was examining indicate that the genotypes were from North Americans. Is it certain that the population tested was North American only?
Population descriptions are provided to dbSNP by submitters, and as such, the submitter is entirely responsible for any quality control of the submitted population description. You will, therefore, have to ask the submitter about the source of the genotype data.
