“…Based on the 23 single‐copy Y‐STR loci, the average R ST between these five ethnic groups is very high (0.38, Table ), with an extreme R ST of 0.75 observed between Tarklanis and Utmankhels (Table ). The middle range R ST values (e.g., 0.1–0.2) found between some of the ethnic groups (Gujar–Kohistani, Tarklani–Kohistani, Yusafzai–Kohistani) are comparable to genetic distances reported previously between population groups from the Indo‐Pakistani subcontinent (Alam et al., ; Seema Nair et al., ; Perveen et al., ) and the Middle East (Triki‐Fendri et al., ). It is intriguing that Kohistanis represent the common denominator in these middle range values, for they likely represent the indigenous population of the region while the other sampled ethnic groups likely represent more recent immigrants (Barth, ); Tarklanis and Yusafzais occupying the low‐lying regions of southern Dir and Swat, and Gujars the rugged higher‐altitude Upper Swat.…”

The ethnic groups that inhabit the mountainous Dir and Swat districts of northern Pakistan are marked by high levels of cultural and phenotypic diversity. To obtain knowledge of the extent of genetic diversity in this region, we investigated Y-chromosomal diversity in five population samples representing the three main ethnic groups residing within these districts, including Gujars, Pashtuns and Kohistanis. A total of 27 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) and 331 Y-chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) were investigated. In the Y-STRs, we observed very high and significant levels of genetic differentiation in nine of the 10 pairwise between-group comparisons (R 0.179-0.746), and the differences were mirrored in the Y-SNP haplogroup frequency distribution. No genetic differences were found between the two Pashtun subethnic groups Tarklanis and Yusafzais (R = 0.000). Utmankhels, also considered Pashtuns culturally, were not closely related to any of the other population samples (R 0.451-0.746). Thus, our findings provide examples of both associations and dissociations between cultural and genetic legacies. When analyzed within a larger continental-scale context, these five ethnic groups fall mostly outside the previously characterized Y-chromosomal gene pools of the Indo-Pakistani subcontinent. Male founder effects, coupled with culturally and topographically based constraints upon marriage and movement, are likely responsible for the high degree of genetic structure in this region.

“…Fst statistics is one of the most widely used measures for genetic differentiation and plays a central role in genetic studies [ 11 ]. Reference populations including Hui [ 12 , 13 ], Uygur [ 14 , 15 ], Eastern Han (from Zhejiang, China) [ 16 , 17 ], Salar [ 18 , 19 ], Miao [ 20 , 21 ], Tibetan [ 22 , 23 ], Yi [ 21 , 24 ], Shandong Han [ 25 , 26 ], Korean [ 27 , 28 ], Bangladeshis [ 29 , 30 ], Serbian [ 31 , 32 ], Xibe [ 33 , 34 ], Dong [ 21 , 35 ], Maonan [ 21 , 36 ], Moroccan [ 37 , 38 ], Croatian [ 39 , 40 ], Nepalese [ 41 , 42 ], Jilin Han [ 43 , 44 ] and Liaoning Han [ 45 , 46 ] were used for population genetic analysis based on the same of autosomal STRs or Y-STR loci, respectively. The pairwise Fst and p values based on 15 STR loci between Southern Shaanxi Han population and other 19 populations were shown in Supplementary Table 1 .…”

We analyzed the genetic polymorphisms of 15 autosomal and 10 Y-chromosomal STR loci in 214 individuals of Han population from Southern Shaanxi of China and studied the genetic relationships between Southern Shaanxi Han and other populations. We observed a total of 150 alleles at 15 autosomal STR loci with the corresponding allelic frequencies ranging from 0.0023 to 0.5210, and the combined power of discrimination and exclusion for the 15 autosomal STR loci were 0.99999999999999998866 and 0.999998491, respectively. For the 10 Y-STR loci, totally 100 different haplotypes were obtained, of which 94 were unique. The discriminatory capacity and haplotype diversity values of the 10 Y-STR loci were 0.9259 and 0.998269, respectively. The results demonstrated high genetic diversities of the 25 STR loci in the population for forensic applications. We constructed neighbor-joining tree and conducted principal component analysis based on 15 autosomal STR loci and conducted multidimensional scaling analysis and constructed neighbor-joining tree based on 10 Y-STR loci. The results of population genetic analyses based on both autosomal and Y-chromosome STRs indicated that the studied Southern Shaanxi Han population had relatively closer genetic relationship with Eastern Han population, and distant relationships with Croatian, Serbian and Moroccan populations.
