GENETIC POLYMORPHISM OF Y-CHROMOSOME MARKERS IN THE POPULATION OF BYELORUSSIAN TATARS
Abstract
Byelorussian tatars appeared in the territory of modern Belarus not later than the end of the 14th century and they are thought to be descendants of the inhabitants of the Golden Horde. Genetic relationships between Byelorussian Tatars and other Turkic peoples, as well as modern Byelorussians are not well understood. In order to address this question we studied the genetic structure of the population of Byelorussian Tatars using Y-chromosomal biallelic and STR markers. The study revealed the presence of genetic components typical for the populations of Northern and Southern Caucasus, Central Asia, and South Siberia.
