So, where is the evidence for your wish?

Yialoser, you’ve made a dork of yourself again with these tables so I guess it’s time to go beat up another old man with your mates, to vent off!

... to "vent off" ... is that what it's called nowadays? .....

I'm only asking, mem101, because the most recent studies suggest otherwise.

For example - there is an inherited form of deafness which is most common in modern Greek territories but which is of neolithic origin and hence traces of it can be used to track where ancient Greeks left their genes:

A 2009 study found the following:



Country ...... Region ................ Percentage 35delG Carrier Rates

Albania ........ Tirana .................................... 0
Bulgaria ....... Sophia ................................... 0
Greece ......................................................... 3.54
Greece ......... Athens ................................... 3.66
Greece ......... Crete ..................................... 5.36
Cyprus ......... south-geographical region .... 2.47
Cyprus .......... north-geographical region .... 0
Turkey .......... Ankara .................................. 0.40
Turkey .......... Istanbul ................................. 1.34

Everybody can see you're the fool like fat boy ZOC. If you don't understand the data, don't post!

Heres a smiley for you.

BTW, mem101 ... here's some evidence that this gene is considered to be an "ethnic marker":



Statistical study of 35delG mutation of GJB2 gene: A meta-analysis of carrier frequency

GJB2 mutations are major causes of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) in many populations. However, a few mutations have an ethnic-specific background. We performed a review by means of a meta-analysis to evaluate the influence of the 35delG on ARNSHL. A PubMed, InterScience, British Library Direct, and Sciencedirect search using keywords ‘35delG’, ‘GJB2’ and ‘Connexin 26’ associated with ‘carrier frequency’ was carried out to include all papers from February 1998 to February 2008. 35delG carrier frequencies in 23187 random controls were analysed and categorized, corresponding with geographical boundaries, from all over the world. Mean carrier frequencies of 35delG mutation were found to be 1.89, 1.52, 0.64, 1, and 0.64 for European, American, Asian, Ocean, and African populations, respectively. We found that the average 35delG carrier frequency is highest in southern Europe and lowest in eastern Asia. The south-to-north European gradient in the carrier frequency of 35delG was confirmed and also a west-to-east Asian gradient is suggested. This study highlights the importance of establishing prevalence, based on the local population for screening and diagnostic programs of live births.

so why did u?

wot i wanna know is how closely ur haplos match with this young chap's...



they'd better be a good match or me and michalis tsiakkas are gonna beat seven shades of shit out of u for looking like a juden...

So, when the Ottoman Turks came to Cyprus a few centuries ago, the "Turkish Cypriots" they left behind did not have this mutation (since the Ottomans probably didn't either). Since these "Turkish Cypriots" remained separate from the indigenous (i.e. Greek) Cypriots, they never really acquired it.

In Modern Turkey, we can see that where the indigenous population is made up of peoples who had contact with Ancient Greeks (more prevalent in Istanbul/Constantinople than in Ankara), there are near/below average levels; but, none as high as in those of known continuously Greek inhabited regions (Cyprus, Crete, Athens). I think this also proves that Cyprus was and is ethnically Greek!
