Comparing the entire set of Y-chromosome haplogroups with those from regional populations surrounding
Cyprus revealed a high Anatolian influence (mY = 66 %),
followed by the Levant (mY = 24 %) then the Balkan regions (mY = 13 %, Table 2). A putative Roman contribution to Cyprus using data from Italy and Sicily [32] also showed negative values of mY (data not shown). A closer look at specific proxy lineages permitted us to dissect these results further (Table 2). Anatolia would have generated up to 83 % to the Cypriot G-P15 and up to a quarter (range, 22–25 %) of Cypriot J2a-M67, J2b-M12, and R1b-M269 related lineages.
Danube Balkans would have provided most of the Cypriot J2b-M12 (67 %) and all Cypriot I2-M423 (99 %). Although, when using the entire set of Y-chromosome haplogroup frequencies, the composition of Cyprus can be explained by contributions from Anatolia, Balkans, and Levant, the actual Greek contribution stood out for the Cypriot E-V13 (87 %), J2a-M67 (74 %), R1b-M269 (48 %), and G-P15 (17 %) components. Lastly, Levant contributed up to 30 % of the Cypriot R1b-M269 and to a lesser extent regarding the Cypriot J lineages (3–8 %)
The pattern of structural variation in Cyprus points towards a model comprising two stages of expansion:
an earlier expansion of G2a-P15, J2a-M67, and R1b-M269 (range, 11,600–13,800 y BP with a slow YSTR mutation rate ω; 3800–4500 BP with a fast ω), subsequently followed
later by the expansion of E-V13, I2-M423, and J2b-M12 (slow ω, 4400–6600 y BP; fast ω 1500–4500 y BP) (Table 3). However, times of divergence of these lineages from current Anatolian, Danubian, Greek, and Levantine Y-STRs appeared more recent. Pre-historical divergence was observed for Cypriot G-P15 with Greece (3600 y BP), I2-M423 with Anatolia (4200 y BP) and Levant (9400 y BP) and J2b-M12 with Danube Balkans (3,500 y BP) and Levant (5100 y BP). Divergence of E-V13, J2a-M67, and R1b-M269 would have taken place in modern times (range, 300–2.200 y BP). Note that both M67 and M269 encapsulate high genetic variance, respectively, 0.352 and 0.320, but little genetic differentiation with Anatolia, Danube Balkans, Greece, and Levant. This suggests either an arrival of multiple diverse founders during the Bronze Age period or alternatively several subsequent flows from these regions. In addition, the use of a fast YSTRS mutation rate reduced the divergence to the historical era. While these YSTR-based estimates are consistent with two stages of settlement, the chronological framework regarding such expansions remains in doubt due to uncertainty regarding the appropriate average YSTR mutation rate for the 11 loci that compose the haplotype.
Издвојио сам неке битне делове из оног рада о Y хромозому кипарских Грка. Занимљиво ми је да се ова кипарска J2b (која је 90% M205) највећим делом везује за Балкан (TMRCA 3500), уз I2a-M423. Гледајући хаплотипове, уочљива је сличност са неким европским хаплотиповима (вероватно добар део одлази на PH4306), док не постоји подударање са "арапским". Значајно би било видети хаплотипове из Сирије, Либана и Јордана, којих нема превише. Ту би веза морала да постоји.
