Summary

Genetic analysis of Romanian isolates reveals shared Bohemian origins between Lindenfeld and Sumiţa populations. These groups, along with Caraşova, show distinct genetic differences from the native Cornereva population, aligning with their distinct ethnohistories.

Area of Science:

  • Population Genetics
  • Human Evolution
  • Anthropology

Background:

  • Investigates genetic diversity within isolated populations in Romania.
  • Examines immigrant groups who have maintained cultural distinctiveness over centuries.
  • Compares genetic makeup of specific isolates with native Romanian populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze genetic changes in small immigrant populations in Romania.
  • To determine genetic similarity and distance between isolates and related groups.
  • To correlate genetic findings with the ethnohistory of the compared populations.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of allele frequencies from seven genetic marker systems (AB0, MN, RH, P, KM, HPA, TF).
  • Calculation of genetic similarity and distance metrics.
  • Comparison of genetic data with ethnohistorical and geographical information.

Main Results:

  • High genetic similarity observed between Lindenfeld and Sumiţa populations, attributed to common Bohemian origin.
  • Lindenfeld, Sumiţa, and Caraşova populations exhibit low genetic similarity with the native Romanian population of Cornereva.
  • Genetic findings are consistent with the known ethnohistory of these populations.

Conclusions:

  • The genetic data supports the distinct origins and historical isolation of the studied populations.
  • Bohemian origin is a significant factor in the genetic similarity between Lindenfeld and Sumiţa.
  • Genetic divergence reflects the ethnohistorical trajectories of immigrant versus native Romanian groups.
