From the first link:

  Global  16326  G=0.95075  C=0.04925
  European  12074  G=0.97896  C=0.02104
  African  2816  G=0.9052  C=0.0948
  Asian    108  G=0.630  C=0.370

So, roughly 5% of the population is affected, lower risk for European ancestry, much higher risk for Asians (37%, but the sample size is rather low).

Is the African referenced from samples from Africa or from African-Americans?

Africa (continent), there is a different row for African Americans. And "African (Other)"
