Definition

  • The allelic frequency is the relative frequency (or fraction) of the given allele reported at the locus of interest in a given population. It is usually expressed as a number from 0 to 1. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/allele-frequency) Allelic frequency is usually reported as a decimal fraction for both Sample Variant Allelic Frequency and Population Allelic Frequency, although it is occasionally reported as a percent. Special care/caution should be taken when reporting and converting to a decimal fraction.
