Number of Tandem and Interspersed duplication

Dear all,

I can not find this information somehow (I checked 3rd phase of 1000GP project and biostars, no real answer...)

We have several classed of duplications. Tandem ones and interspersed. Usually people refer to all interspersed duplications as "segmental duplcations", but for me it sounds like high allele frequency.

So the question is: how many interspersed duplications in a standard human genome exists, if we filter out variants with allele frequency >1%?

(motivation for this question: most of the SV calling tools detect tandem duplications, but not interspersed one, and usually variants with >1% mAF are considered as not important - how much I will miss per a human genome if I just don't call interspersed duplications?)
