The genetic legacy of the Hunyadi descendantsThe Hunyadi family is one of the most influential families in the history of Central Europe in the 14th-16th centuries. The family's prestige was established by Johannes Hunyadi, a Turk-beater who rose to the position of governor of the Kingdom of Hungary. His second son, Matthias Hunyadi, became the elected ruler of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1458. The Hunyadi family had unknown origin. Moreover, Matthias failed to found a dynasty because of lacking a legitimate heir and his illegitimate son Johannes Corvinus was unable to obtain the crown. His grandson, Christophorus Corvinus, died in childhood, thus the direct male line of the family ended.
In the framework of on interdisciplinary research, we have determined the whole genome sequences of Johannes Corvinus and Christophorus Corvinus by next-generation sequencing technology. Both of them carried the Y-chromosome haplogroup is E1b1b1a1b1a6a1c ~, which is widespread in Eurasia. The father-son relationship was verified using the classical STR method and whole genome data. Christophorus Corvinus belongs to the rare, sporadically occurring T2c1+146 mitochondrial haplogroup, most frequent around the Mediterranean, while his father belongs to the T2b mitochondrial haplogroup, widespread in Eurasia, both are consistent with the known origin of the mothers. Archaeogenomic analysis indicated that the Corvinus had an ancient European genome composition.

Хуњади, и утврђено је да припадају хаплогрупи
https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-PH1173/. С обзиром да су тестирани и STR маркери, можемо их упоредити са припадницима ове гране из табеле нашег пројекта. Колико видех на брзину, Хуњади се од наших разликују на 3 маркера:
DYS385=16-17 (код наших 16-18),
DYS448=18 (код наших 19) и
DYS481=21 (код наших 22).
