Echoes from Sepharad: signatures on the maternal gene pool of crypto-Jewish descendants.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 May 2015

Nogueiro Inês, Teixeira João, Amorim António, Gusmão Leonor, Alvarez Luis

Abstract excerpt

The majority of genetic studies on Jewish populations have been focused on Ashkenazim, and genetic data from the Sephardic original source, the Iberian Peninsula, are particularly scarce. Regarding the mitochondrial genome, the available information is limited to a single Portuguese village, Belmonte, where just two different lineages (a single one corresponding to 93.3%) were found in 30 individuals. Aiming at...
