-
Obviously the value of Fst varies by the set of populations you're comparing.

And here are the genes around the high-Fst clusters:

LOSITAN is a selection detection workbench based on the fdist Fst outlier methods.

Fst statistic, which is basically partitioning between and within population variance across two populations.

-
By contrast, Fst approaches 0 when all the variance is within the population, and not between.
-
Initially they looked at population level Fst, but I think the PCA is really more informative:

Pair-wise Fst of the four HapMap samples (203 individuals in total) were as follows: Europeans (CEU) - Africans

Mean Fst was 0.001 for the 14 Estonian counties, 0.005 for Finland,

The MDS plot of the Fst distances is also quite interesting, showing Catalans, Extremadura,

The maximal proportion of overall genetic variation due to differences between groups for Europeans versus Africans and Europeans versus Asians (the Fst value) closely matched the putative location of the susceptibility variant as judged from haplotype-based association mapping.
