rv. addition that can not be verified WP:OR
It is not WP:OR, for the case that you can not excess the paper (you can also request the pdf), I now additionally include an open access summary link for the 2021 paper and a open access version for the Damgaard paper on academia.edu. Everything is Verifiable.

As of 2017, Central Asian genetic variation has been poorly studied, with little or no [[whole genome sequencing]] data for countries such as [[Turkmenistan]] and [[Afghanistan]].<ref name="Taskent_et_al_2017" /> Therefore, future comprehensive genome-wide studies are needed.

A 2021 study, sequencing 3,362 unrelated Turkish samples, found that [[Turkish people]] are genetically nearly exclusively of [[West Eurasians|West Eurasian]] ancestry, but harbor several West-Eurasian sublineages, which points to historical admixture events. The genetic makeup of Turkish people is close to the people of the [[Balkans]] and the [[Caucasus]] region. Turkish people could be modeled as admixture of a Caucasus component, a Middle Eastern component, and an European component, but no evidence for a significant [[East Asian people|East Asian]] component was found. Previous models suggested an greater East Asian contribution during the [[Turkification]] of [[Anatolia]], however the "Ancestral Turkic Central Asian" source component carried only marginal East Asian ancestry. East Asian-derived ancestry among the 3,362 analyzed Turkish samples did not exceed 5%. Central Asian [[Turkmens]], the alleged source population for the Oghuz Turkic migration, were previously founded to harbor less than 20% East Asian-derived ancestry.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kars|first=M.

A study of Turkish genetics in 2014 used [[whole genome sequencing]] of 16 individuals.<ref name="Alkan" /> It found that the genetic variation of contemporary Turks clusters with South European populations, as expected, but also shows signatures of relatively recent contribution from ancestral East Asian populations. It estimated the weight for the migration events predicted to originate from the East Asian branch into Turkey at 21.7% (see image).<ref name=Alkan/>


A study in 2021 analyzed the whole genome of 3,362 Turkish samples and found much smaller East Asian-derived ancestry among Turkish peoples, not exceeding ~5%.

Population genetics research has been conducted on the ancestry of the modern Turkish people (not to be confused with Turkic peoples) in Turkey. Such studies are relevant for the demographic history of the population as well as health reasons, such as population specific diseases.[1] Some studies have sought to determine the relative contributions of the Turkic peoples of Central Asia, from where the Seljuk Turks began migrating to Anatolia after the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, which led to the establishment of the Anatolian Seljuk Sultanate in the late 11th century, and prior populations in the area who were culturally assimilated during the Seljuk and the Ottoman periods.

Turkish genomic variation, along with several other Western Asian populations, looks most similar to genomic variation of South European populations such as southern Italians.[2] Western Asian genomes, including Turkish ones, have been greatly influenced by early agricultural populations in the area; later population movements, such as those of Turkic speakers, also contributed.[2] A whole-genome sequencing study of Turkish genetics, conducted on 16 individuals, concluded that the Turkish population forms a cluster with Southern European and Mediterranean populations and that the predicted contribution from an Ancestral Central Asian component is 21.7%.[1] However, that does not provide a direct estimate of a migration rate, because of factors such as the unknown original contributing populations.[1] The genetic variation of various populations in Central Asia "has been poorly characterized"; Western Asian populations may also be "closely related to populations in the east".[2]

Multiple studies have found similarities or common ancestry between Turkish people and present-day or historic populations in the Mediterranean, West Asia and the Caucasus.[3][4][5][6][7] Other studies have found that Turkish people cluster with Southern and Mediterranean European populations along with groups in the northern part of Southwest Asia (such as the populations from Caucasus, Iraq, and Iran)[8] and have the lowest fixation index distance from Caucasus and Iranian-Syrian populations.[9] Multiple studies have also found Central Asian contributions.[4][10][11][12][13]

Central Asian connection

Further information: Genetic history of Central Asia

Several studies have investigated to what extent a gene flow from Central Asia to Anatolia contributed to the gene pool of the Turkish people and the role of the 11th-century settlement by Oghuz Turks. Some studies suggested that, although the Turks' settlement of Anatolia was of cultural importance, including the introduction of the Turkish language and Islam, the genetic contribution from Central Asia may have been slight.[5][14] A 2020 global study looking at whole-genome sequences showed that Turks have relatively lower within-population shared identical-by-descent genomic fragments compared to the rest of the world, suggesting mixture of remote populations.[15]

Some of the Turkic peoples originated from Central Asia may be related to the Xiongnu.[16] Most (89%) of the Xiongnu sequences belong to Asian haplogroups, but nearly 11% belong to European haplogroups.[16] Thus, contacts between European and Asian populations predated the Xiongnu culture,[16] confirming results reported for two samples from an early 3rd century B.C. Scytho-Siberian population.[17]

A study published in 2003 looked at Human leukocyte antigen genes to investigate the affinity of certain Mongolian tribes with Germans and Anatolian Turks. It was found that Germans and Turks were equally distant to the Mongolian populations. No close relationship was found between Turks and Mongolians despite the close relationship of their languages and shared historical neighborhood.[18]

A study of 75 individuals from various parts of Turkey concluded that the "genetic structure of the mitochondrial DNAs in the Turkish population bears some similarities to Turkic Central Asian populations".[19]

A 2001 study comparing the populations of Mediterranean Europe and Turkic-speaking peoples of Central Asia estimated the Central Asian genetic contribution to current Anatolian Y-chromosome loci (one binary and six short tandem repeat) and mitochondrial DNA gene pool to be roughly 30%.[12] A 2004 high-resolution SNP analysis of Y-chromosomal DNA in samples collected from blood banks, sperm banks, and university students in eight regions of Turkey found evidence for a weak but detectable signal (<9%) of gene flow from Central Asia.[4] A 2006 study concluded that the true Central Asian contributions to Anatolia was 13% for males and 22% for females (with wide ranges of confidence intervals), and the language replacement in Turkey and might not have been in accordance with the elite dominance model.[10] It was later observed that the male contribution from Central Asia to the Turkish population with reference to the Balkans was 13%. For all non-Turkic speaking populations, the Central Asian contribution was higher than in Turkey.[11] According to the study, "the contributions ranging between 13%–58% must be considered with a caution because they harbor uncertainties about the state of pre-nomadic invasion and further local movements."[11]

In a 2015 study, Turkish samples were in the West Eurasian clade which consisted of "all of mainland Europe, Sardinia, Sicily, Cyprus, western Russia, the Caucasus, Turkey, and Iran, and some individuals from Tajikistan and Turkmenistan." In this study, ancestry from East Asia was also visible in Turkish samples, with events after 1000 CE generally involving Asian sources being important when it comes to the ancestry of Turkey and its region.[20]

As of 2017, Central Asian genetic variation has been poorly studied, with little or no whole genome sequencing data for countries such as Turkmenistan and Afghanistan.[2] Therefore, future comprehensive genome-wide studies are needed. Turkish people, and other Western Asian populations, may also be closely related to Central Asian populations such as those near Western Asia.[2]

A 2021 study, sequencing 3,362 unrelated Turkish samples, found that Turkish people are genetically nearly exclusively of West Eurasian ancestry, but harbor several West-Eurasian sublineages, which points to historical admixture events. The genetic makeup of Turkish people is close to the people of the Balkans and the Caucasus region. Turkish people could be modeled as admixture of a Caucasus component, a Middle Eastern component, and an European component, but no evidence for a significant East Asian component was found. Previous models suggested an greater East Asian contribution during the Turkification of Anatolia, however the "Ancestral Turkic Central Asian" source component carried only marginal East Asian ancestry. East Asian-derived ancestry among the 3,362 analyzed Turkish samples did not exceed 5%. Central Asian Turkmens, the alleged source population for the Oghuz Turkic migration, were previously founded to harbor less than 20% East Asian-derived ancestry.[21][22] According to previous studies (2018, 2020), about the historical population history of Central Asia, the early Medival Turkic peoples, samplified by Göktürk individuals, were found to harbor strong genetic diversity, displaying both West-Eurasian-derived and East-Eurasian-derived ancestry. The authors concluded therefore that the Turkification of Central Asia was carried out by a diverse Turkic-speaking population and elite-dominance, with East Asian ancestry later further increasing with the migrations associated with Mongolic-speakers.[23][24]

Haplogroup distributions

Y chromosome haplogroup distribution of Turkish people[4]

Cinnioğlu et al. (2004)[4] found many Y-DNA haplogroups in Turkey. Most haplogroups in Turkey are shared with its West Asian and Caucasian neighbors. The most common haplogroup in Turkey is J2 (24%), which is widespread among Mediterranean, Caucasian, and West Asian populations. Haplogroups that are common in Europe (R1b and I; 20%), South Asia (L, R2, H; 5.7%), and Africa (A, E3*, E3a; 1%) are also present. By contrast, Central Asian haplogroups (C, Q, and O) are rarer. However, the figure may rise to 36% if K, R1a, R1b, and L—which infrequently occur in Central Asia but are notable in many other Western Turkic groups—are included. J2 is also frequently found in Central Asia, a notably high frequency (30.4%) being observed among Uzbeks.[25]

The main percentages identified were as follows:[4]

  • J2: 24%. J2 (M172) may reflect the spread of Anatolian farmers.[26] J2-M172 is "mainly confined to the Mediterranean coastal areas, southeastern Europe and Anatolia", as well as West Asia and Central Asia.[27]
  • R1b: 15.9%. R1b is found in Europe, West Asia, Central Asia, Southern Asia, some parts of the Sahel region of Africa.[28]
  • G: 10.9%. Haplogroup G has also been associated with the spread of agriculture (together with J2 clades) and is "largely restricted to populations of the Caucasus and the Near/Middle East and southern Europe."[29]
  • E3b-M35: 10.7% (E3b1-M78 and E3b3-M123 accounting for all E representatives in the sample, besides a single E3b2-M81 chromosome). E-M78 is common along a line from the Horn of Africa via Egypt to the Balkans.[30] Haplogroup E-M123 is found in both Africa and Eurasia.
  • J1: 9%
  • R1a: 6.9%
  • I: 5.3%
  • K: 4.5%
  • L: 4.2%
  • N: 3.8%
  • T: 2.5%
  • Q: 1.9%
  • C: 1.3%
  • R2: 0.96%

Other markers that occurred in less than 1% are H, A, E3a, O, and R1*.

Further research on Turkish Y-DNA groups

Y-DNA comparison of Turkish and Greek-speaking populations of Cyprus, Anatolia, Thrace, the Aegean, and peninsular Greece (Citation: Heraclides et al. 2017 Y-chromosomal analysis of Greek Cypriots reveals a primarily common pre-Ottoman paternal ancestry with Turkish Cypriots. PLoS ONE 12(6): e0179474. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0179474

A 2008 study[31] took into account oral histories and historical records. The researchers went to four settlements in Central Anatolia and chose a random selection of subjects from among university students.

In an Afshar village near Ankara where, according to oral tradition, the ancestors of the inhabitants came from Central Asia, the researchers found that 57% of the villagers had haplogroup L, 13% had haplogroup Q and 3% had haplogroup N. Examples of haplogroup L, which is most common in South Asia, might be a result of Central Asian migration even though the presence of haplogroup L in Central Asia itself was most likely a result of migration from South Asia. Therefore, Central Asian haplogroups potentially occurred in 73% of males in the village. Furthermore, 10% of the Afshars had haplogroups E3a and E3b, while only 13% had haplogroup J2a, the most common in Turkey.

By contrast, the inhabitants of a traditional Turkish village that had little migration had about 25% haplogroup N and 25% J2a, with 3% G and close to 30% R1 variants (mostly R1b).

Whole genome sequencing

Whole genome sequencing of Turkish individuals.[1] (b) shows a tree analysis. Turkey, TUR; Tuscans, TSI; Iberian, IBS; British, GBR; Finnish, FIN; European-American, CEU; Northern Han Chinese, CHB; Japanese, JPT; Southern Han Chinese, CHS; Yoruba, YRI; Luhya, LWK. Weight of the migration event predicted to originate from the East Asian branch into Turkey is 0.217; from the ancestral Eurasian branch into the Turkey-Tuscan branch, 0.048; from the African branch into Iberia, 0.026, from the Japanese branch into Finland, 0.079.

A study of Turkish genetics in 2014 used whole genome sequencing of 16 individuals.[1] It found that the genetic variation of contemporary Turks clusters with South European populations, as expected, but also shows signatures of relatively recent contribution from ancestral East Asian populations. It estimated the weight for the migration events predicted to originate from the East Asian branch into Turkey at 21.7% (see image).[1]

A study in 2021 analyzed the whole genome of 3,362 Turkish samples and found much smaller East Asian-derived ancestry among Turkish peoples, not exceeding ~5%. Turkish people were found to have nearly exclusively West-Eurasian-derived ancestry and could be modeled to have formed from a Caucasus component, a Middle Eastern component, and an European component.[32][33]

Other studies

A 2001 study that looked at HLA alleles suggested that "Turks, Kurds, Armenians, Iranians, Jews, Lebanese and other (Eastern and Western) Mediterranean groups seem to share a common ancestry" and that historical populations such as Anatolian Hittite and Hurrian groups (older than 2000 B.C.) "may have given rise to present‐day Kurdish, Armenian and Turkish populations."[3] A 2004 study that looked at 11 human‐specific Alu insertion polymorphisms among Aromanians, North Macedonians, Albanians, Romanians, Greeks, and Turks, suggested a common ancestry for these populations.[34]

A 2011 study ruled out long-term and continuing genetic contacts between Anatolia and Siberia and confirmed the presence of significant mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome divergence between these regions, with minimal admixture. The research also confirmed the lack of mass migration and suggested that it was irregular punctuated migration events that engendered large-scale shifts in language and culture among Anatolia's diverse autochthonous inhabitants.[7]

Estimated cluster membership bar plot for populations in West Asia, Europe, Africa, South Central Asia, Central Asia, and Siberia. The populations with the largest orange bars, including Turkish people, are located primarily in Southern and Mediterranean Europe, and the northern part of Southwest Asia.[8]

A study in 2015, however, wrote, "Previous genetic studies have generally used Turks as representatives of ancient Anatolians. Our results show that Turks are genetically shifted towards Central Asians, a pattern consistent with a history of mixture with populations from this region." The authors found "7.9% (±0.4) East Asian ancestry in Turks from admixture occurring 800 (±170) years ago."[13]

According to a 2012 study of ethnic Turks, "Turkish population has a close genetic similarity to Middle Eastern and European populations and some degree of similarity to South Asian and Central Asian populations."[35] The analysis modeled each person's DNA as having originated from K ancestral populations and varied the parameter K from 2 to 7. At K = 3, comparing to individuals from the Middle East (Druze and Palestinian), Europe (French, Italian, Tuscan and Sardinian) and Central Asia (Uygur, Hazara and Kyrgyz), clustering results indicated that the contributions were 45%, 40% and 15% for the Middle Eastern, European and Central Asian populations, respectively. At K = 4, results for paternal ancestry were 38% European, 35% Middle Eastern, 18% South Asian, and 9% Central Asian. At K = 7, results of paternal ancestry were 77% European, 12% South Asian, 4% Middle Eastern, and 6% Central Asian. However, results may reflect either previous population movements (such as migration and admixture) or genetic drift.[35] The Turkish samples were closest to the Adygei population (Circassians) from the Caucasus; other sampled groups included European (French, Italian), Middle Eastern (Druze, Palestinian), and Central (Kyrgyz, Hazara, Uygur), South Asian (Pakistani), and East Asian (Mongolian, Han) populations.[35]

Population relationships based on fixation index distance estimates. Turks are closest to OCA (Caucasus) and OME (Iranian and Syrian) groups, compared to other groups or populations such as East-Central European populations (OEC), European (EUR, including Northern and Eastern European), Sardinian, Roma, and Turkmen.[9]

A study involving mitochondrial analysis of a Byzantine-era population, whose samples were gathered from excavations in the archaeological site of Sagalassos, found that these samples were closest to modern samples from "Turkey, Crimea, Iran and Italy (Campania and Puglia), Cyprus and the Balkans (Bulgaria, Croatia, and Greece)."[36] Modern-day samples from the nearby town of Ağlasun showed that lineages of East Eurasian descent assigned to macro-haplogroup M were found in the modern samples from Ağlasun. This haplogroup was significantly more frequent in Ağlasun (15%) than in Byzantine Sagalassos, but the study found "no genetic discontinuity across two millennia in the region."[37]

A 2019 study found that Turkish people cluster with Southern and Mediterranean Europe populations along with groups in the northern part of Southwest Asia (such as the populations from Caucasus, Northern Iraq, and Iranians).[8] Another 2019 study found that Turkish people have the lowest fixation index distances with Caucasus population group and Iranian-Syrian group, as compared to East-Central European, European (including Northern and Eastern European), Sardinian, Roma, and Turkmen groups or populations. The Caucasus group in the study included samples from Abkhazians, Adygey, Armenians, Balkars, Chechens, Georgians, Kumyks, Kurds, Lezgins, Nogays, and North Ossetians.[9]

Due to a historically high number of admixed people and large population sizes, the numbers of shared IBD fragments within the same population in the aforementioned groups are the lowest compared to the rest of the world (for Pathans, their shared number of IBDs among themselves is the record low—8.95; this is followed by Azerbaijanians and Uyghurs, each at 10.8; Uzbeks at 11.1; Iranians at 12.2; and Turks at 12.9). Together, the low number of shared IBDs within the same population and the high values for relative relatedness from multiple DHGR components (Supplementary Table S4) indicate the populations with the strongest admixtures where millions of people from remote populations mixed with each other for hundreds of years. In Europe, such admixed populations include the Moldavians, Greeks, Italians, Hungarians, and Tatars, among others. In the Americas, the highest admixture was detected in the Mexicans from Los Angeles (MXL) and Peruvians (PEL) presented by the 1000 Genomes Project.{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)
