“…Excluding the Roma population from Herzegovina (BHM) and Central Bosnia (BHV), all the other Bosnian‐Herzegovinian Roma showed no significant differentiation ( p > 0.05) from the Bulgarian Vlax Roma population (BVL). Similar non‐significant pairwise Fst differences based on the distribution of mtDNA haplogroups were observed for the Roma from North‐Eastern Bosnia and the Vlax Roma from Bulgaria (Ahmic et al, 2018). The Roma from Semberija (BHB), Herzegovina (BHM) and Sarajevo region (BHS) showed non‐significant Rst differences with the Bulgarian Rudari Vlax Roma (BVR) and the Roma from Greece and Serbia.…”

Objectives Studies indicate the complex nature of the genetic structure of the European Roma which has been shaped by different effects of their demographic history, while preserving their ancestral Indian origin. The primary aims of this study were to present for the first time the paternal profiles of the Roma from Bosnia and Herzegovina based on the data from Y‐chromosome STR loci, identify the components of non‐Roma paternal gene flow into the Roma, and evaluate the genetic relationships with other European Roma populations. Materials and methods In this study, 110 DNA samples of unrelated males from Roma populations residing in different regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina were genotyped using the 23 Y‐STR loci included in the PowerPlex Y23 system. Results The analysis of the genetic structure of the Bosnian‐Herzegovinian Roma revealed intra‐country population substructuring and indicated differing genetic affinities between the Bosnian‐Herzegovinian Roma and other European Roma populations. The paternal genetic structure of the Bosnian‐Herzegovinian Roma has two components: an ancestral component represented by haplogroup H1a1a‐M82, and European component presented by haplogroups I1‐M253, I2a1a2b‐L621, J2a1a‐L26, J2a1a1a2b2a3~Z7671, J2b2a‐M241, G2a2b2a1a1b‐L497, and E1b1b‐M215. Conclusion Genetic relations between the Bosnian‐Herzegovinian Roma and other European Roma are shaped by different influences on their demographic history. The data suggest that the paternal gene pool of the Roma from Bosnia and Herzegovina might be a consequence of an early separation of the proto‐Roma population and the later gene flow as well as factors of the isolation that accompany the Roma populations in some Bosnian‐Herzegovinian regions.

Background Even though the Buyei are a recognised ethnic group in southwestern China, there hasn’t been much work done on forensic population genetics, notably using mitochondrial DNA. The sequences and haplogroups of mitochondrial DNA control regions of the Buyei peoples were studied to provide support for the establishment of a reference database for forensic DNA analysis in East Asia. Methods and results The mitochondrial DNA control region sequences of 200 Buyei individuals in Guizhou were investigated. The haplotype frequencies and haplogroup distribution of the Buyei nationality in Guizhou were calculated. At the same time, the paired Fst values of the study population and other populations around the world were computed, to explore their genetic polymorphism and population relationship. A total of 179 haplotypes were detected in the Buyei population, with frequencies of 0.005–0.015. All haplotypes were assigned to 89 different haplogroups. The haplotype diversity and random matching probability were 0.999283 and 0.0063, respectively. The paired Fst genetic distances and correlation p-values among the 54 populations revealed that the Guizhou Buyei was most closely related to the Henan Han and the Guizhou Miao, and closer to the Hazara population in Pakistan and the Chiang Mai population. Conclusions The study of mitochondrial DNA based on the maternal genetic structure of the Buyei nationality in Guizhou will benefit the establishment of an East Asian forensic DNA reference database and provide a reference for anthropological research in the future.

“…Despite their common origin, Romani groups have experienced several population splits, founder effects, small population sizes and differential gene flow from non-Romani groups that have caused strong drift effects and rapid genetic differentiation and heterogeneity among different Romani subpopulations. The effect of this genetic heterogeneity is shown in the diverse frequency patterns of uniparental haplogroups [ 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ], as well as in the frequency of disease-causing mutations [ 22 , 23 , 24 ] and genome-wide structures [ 4 , 54 , 57 , 69 , 70 ]. This has resulted in a marked genetic substructure with different levels of complexity [ 57 , 71 ].…”

The Roma are a group of populations with a common origin that share the Romani identity and cultural heritage. Their genetic history has been inferred through multiple studies based on uniparental and autosomal markers, and current genomic data have provided novel insights into their genetic background. This review was prompted by two factors: (i) new developments to estimate the genetic structure of the Roma at a fine-scale resolution have precisely identified the ancestral components and traced migrations that were previously documented only in historical sources, clarifying and solving debates on the origins and the diaspora of the Roma; (ii) while there has been an effort to review the health determinants of the Roma, the increasing literature on their population genetics has not been subjected to a dedicated review in the last two decades. We believe that a summary on the state of the art will benefit both the public and scholars that are approaching the subject.
