“…People from particular geographical regions shared a common haplotype; in other words, people from different regions of Iran have been separated from each other only by geographical boundaries, while they are genetically similar. Moreover, the haplotype diversity values from neighboring populations were 0.9850 in Afghanistan [ 32 ], 0.9992 in Turkish Cypriots [ 30 ], 0.99885 in the United Arab Emirates [ 33 ], 0.9986 in Eastern Turkey [ 29 ], 0.999677 in the Sindhi population of Pakistan [ 34 ], 0.9305 in Punjab Pakistan [ 35 ], 0.892 in Iraq [ 36 ], 0.9932 in Tunis [ 37 ], 0.9963 in Germany [ 38 ], 0.9941 in Italy [ 38 ], 0.9968 in China [ 38 ], 0.996 in India [ 38 ], and 1.0 in Qatar [ 39 ]. As expected, maximum haplotype diversity was observed, given the ethnic diversity of Iran’s population.…”
