“…As expected no haplotypes were shared between our population and the two Tunisian Berber communities reported by Frigi et al [5] and the haplotype diversity of our data was significantly higher. No comparisons were made with other populations due to the lack of information for this particular set of loci.…”

“…Data from Nebel et al on Jews and Palestinian Arabs do not include locus DYS389I/II additional Y-STRs included in the 17-loci multiplex PCR system used in this study, DYS635 completely differentiated the European haplogroup R1b3 (alleles 23 and 24) from Mediterranean and African haplogroups, in which only alleles with less than 23 repeats were observed. Similarly, genotypes at locus DYS448 discriminated between R1b3 (alleles 18 and 19) and the African haplogroup E3a (alleles [20][21][22]. Also noteworthy was the high frequency of intermediate alleles (18.2 and 19.2) at locus DYS458 and its constant association with haplogroup J1 in the Algerian population.…”

Significant R ST values were observed between Algerian Arabs and Berbers from Morocco (R ST = 0.05962; p <0.01) and Tunisia (R ST = 0.02791; p<0.01), whereas the only significant comparisons with non-Berber populations from north Africa were with northern Egyptians (R ST = 0.01996; p <0.05) and Tunisian Andalusians (R ST =0.00962; p<0.05).…”

Analysis of Y-chromosomal SNP haplogroups and STR haplotypes in an Algerian population sample

et al. 2007

The distribution of Y-chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) haplogroups and short tandem repeat (STR) haplotypes was determined in a sample of 102 unrelated men of Arab origin from northwestern Algeria (Oran area). A total of nine different haplogroups were identified by a panel of 22 binary markers. The most common haplogroups observed in the Algerian population were E3b2 (45.1%) and J1 (22.5%). Y-STR typing by a 17-loci multiplex system allowed 93 haplotypes to be defined (88 were unique). Striking differences in the allele distribution and gene diversity of Y-STR markers between haplogroups could be found. In particular, intermediate alleles at locus DYS458 specifically characterized the haplotypes of individuals carrying haplogroup J1. All the intermediate alleles shared a common repeat sequence structure, supporting the hypothesis that the variant originated from a single mutational event.

“…The database included 127 Berbers from Tunisia; 15,16 102 South Tunisians; 17 109 Moroccan Arab and Berber speakers; 18 50 Moroccan and 52 Tunisians (unpublished data). NW African specific haplogroups were identified by further genotyping of samples that were previously described elsewhere.…”

Moors and Saracens in Europe: estimating the medieval North African male legacy in southern Europe

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To investigate the male genetic legacy of the Arab rule in southern Europe during medieval times, we focused on specific Northwest African haplogroups and identified evolutionary close STR-defined haplotypes in Iberia, Sicily and the Italian peninsula. Our results point to a higher recent Northwest African contribution in Iberia and Sicily in agreement with historical data. southern Italian regions known to have experienced long-term Arab presence also show an enrichment of Northwest African types. The forensic and genomic implications of these findings are discussed.
