“…The NJ tree revealed different genetic affinities of the KPP populations. Gujars from our study clustered tightly with a Gujars population from Punjab 123 , Yousafzais from this study clustered closely with populations from South Afghanistan 104 and other Yousafzai groups 82 , 83 . In addition, the Syeds from our study were positioned close to a Tarklanis population from the Dir District of Pakistan 82 .…”

“…Previous genetic research on Pakistani populations has largely been limited to studies of either Y-STR or mtDNA variation in a single ethnic group 83,[85][86][87][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131] , or Y-chromosome and mtDNA analysis in many ethnic groups with limited sample sizes 81,82,84,132 . None of these studies broadly analyzed genetic diversity among the myriad ethnic groups residing in Pakistan.…”

Northwest Pakistan has served as a point of entry to South Asia for different populations since ancient times. However, relatively little is known about the population genetic history of the people residing within this region. To better understand human dispersal in the region within the broader history of the subcontinent, we analyzed mtDNA diversity in 659 and Y-chromosome diversity in 678 individuals, respectively, from five ethnic groups (Gujars, Jadoons, Syeds, Tanolis and Yousafzais), from Swabi and Buner Districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan. The mtDNAs of all individuals were subject to control region sequencing and SNP genotyping, while Y-chromosomes were analyzed using 54 SNPs and 19 STR loci. The majority of the mtDNAs belonged to West Eurasian haplogroups, with the rest belonging to either South or East Asian lineages. Four of the five Pakistani populations (Gujars, Jadoons, Syeds, Yousafzais) possessed strong maternal genetic affinities with other Pakistani and Central Asian populations, whereas one (Tanolis) did not. Four haplogroups (R1a, R1b, O3, L) among the 11 Y-chromosome lineages observed among these five ethnic groups contributed substantially to their paternal genetic makeup. Gujars, Syeds and Yousafzais showed strong paternal genetic affinities with other Pakistani and Central Asian populations, whereas Jadoons and Tanolis had close affinities with Turkmen populations from Central Asia and ethnic groups from northeast India. We evaluate these genetic data in the context of historical and archeological evidence to test different hypotheses concerning their origins and biological relationships.

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.
