This is probably a really stupid newbie question, but I'm looking at rs1529927 in dbSNP and confused to see that although it gives the Alleles as:
Alleles C>G
it then gives Frequency as:
Frequency C=0.02066 (2594/125568, TOPMED) C=0.02443 (2966/121398, ExAC) C=0.0230 (710/30822, GnomAD) (+ 5 more)
If C is the major allele and G the minor, how come C is listed as so rare?
Ah, thank you - I'm very new to all this and get confused with the terminology.
See also: A: Alternate nucleotide is more frequent than reference nucleotide. OMG I'm dizzy.
Thank you, that's really helpful.
