“…The second group of populations selected for comparison with the population of Croatia using reduced 17 Y-STR Yfiler™ marker set includes: Tiroler Unterland, Austria (n=547, (37)), Antwerpen, Belgium (n=309, (26)), Bosnia and Herzegovina (n=574, (169, 170)), Bulgaria (n=91, (31, 171)), Rostock, Germany (n=598, (25, 49)), Greece (n=191, (172)), Hungary (n=303, (30)), Italy (n=147, (65)), Warsaw, Poland (n=491, (122)), Serbia (n=567, (74)), Albania (n=315, (58, 66, 69, 173)), Czech Republic (n=109, (174)), Estonia (n=123, (99)), Ireland (n=863, (75, 168)), Lithuania (n=531, (100, 101)), North Macedonia (n=493, (68, 70, 71)), Norway (n=1555, (175, 176)), Slovenia (n=294, (22)), Sweden (n=296, (177, 178)), and Ukraine (n=212, (179)).…”

Aim: To analyze additional set of Y-Chromosome genetic markers to acquire a more detailed insight into the diversity of the Croatian population. Methods: A total number of 518 Yfiler Plus profiles was genotyped. Allele, haplotype frequencies and haplotype diversity, were calculated using the STRAF software package v2.0.4. Genetic distances were quantified by Rst using AMOVA online tool from the YHRD. The evolutionary history was inferred using the neighbor-joining method of phylogenetic tree construction in MEGAX software. Whit Athey's Haplogroup Predictor v5 was used for additional comparison with selected European populations. Results: The total of 507 haplotypes were used for genetic STR analysis. The interpopulation comparison with the original 27 Y-STR markers shows the lowest genetic diversity between Croatian and Serbian population, and the highest between Croatian and Spanish population. Interpopulation study on 17 Y-STR markers shows the lowest genetic diversity between Croatian and Bosnian-Herzegovinian population, and the highest between Croatian and Irish population. Total of 518 haplotypes were used in the determination of haplogroup diversity. Haplogroup I with its sublineage I2a expressed the highest prevalence. Haplogroup R, with its major sublineage R1a, is the second most abundant in the studied Croatian population, except for the subpopulation of Hvar, where E1b1b is the second most abundant haplogroup. Rare haplogroups also confirmed in this study are L, T and Q. G1 is detected for the very first time in Croatian population. Conclusion: New insight into differences between examined subpopulations of Croatia and their possible (dis)similarities with neighboring abroad populations was notified.

“…Population diversity in the Balkan Peninsula dates back to 8th to 9th century BC (Folk, ), a period when the Balkans was inhabited by the Peony tribe; followed by Hellenistic, Illyrian, and Slavic influence consecutively. Some of the more recent genetic studies based on the analysis of HLA haplotypes, Y‐DNA, and mt‐DNA (Arnaiz‐Villena et al., ; Jakovski, ; Petlichkovski et al., ) indicate that Macedonians originate from “an older Mediterranean lineage.” Studies concerning the genetic markers of the Y chromosome in the Balkan region show that the majority of the Balkan population share the equal genetic pool as the Europeans (Kovacevic et al., ; Noveski, Trivodalieva, Efremov, & Plaseska‐Karanfilska, ; Mirabal et al., ).…”
