well.. I'm not exactly sure how they use the term "values" but hopefuly I can point you in the right direction...
An allele is a specific configuration of nucleotide base pairs in your DNA. Each gene has a variety of alleles and there could be an association of certain alleles to certain phenotypic expressions. In a given population there may be for example a certain number of people all with the allele for dimples... when they smile the dimples are present and when a person smiles and no dimples are present that means that they have a different allele of that gene. The allele frequency is the likelyhood that a person is a population would have that allele and be expressing it. The "allele values" may be their way of presenting the percentages to you.. but then again, I may be way off... hope this helps though!
