A focused population profile of Andi people with a Ciscaucasian profile, their Dagestani highland background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
The Andi are a Northeast Caucasian people of Dagestan, traditionally associated with highland communities in the Andi area and neighboring Avar-Andic regions. The Ciscaucasian profile label means this reference falls closer to north-of-the-Caucasus Dagestani highland references.
Andi belongs to the Andic branch of the Northeast Caucasian language family, while Avar and Russian may also be used depending on context. This page should be read together with the separate Andi Transcaucasian profile because the database splits Andi variation into two comparison patterns.
As a genetic reference, Andi Ciscaucasian is useful for comparison with Lak, Godoberi, Avar, Botlikh, Dargin, Tabasaran, Akhvakh, Kaitag, Chamalal, and Tindi.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Andi (Ciscaucasian Profile) is Lak. Other nearby references include Avar, Godoberi, Botlikh, and Dargin. This gives the Andi (Ciscaucasian Profile) profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Andi Ciscaucasian is best interpreted as a Dagestani highland profile, close to Avar-Andic, Lak, Dargin, Tabasaran, Kaitag, and neighboring Northeast Caucasus references.
The heatmap should emphasize Dagestan, the Northeast Caucasus, Avar-Andic regions, Lak areas, Dargin and Tabasaran regions, Kaitag, and nearby Caucasus highlands.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Lak. Other nearby references include Avar, Godoberi, Botlikh, and Dargin.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Lak is the closest listed match to the Andi (Ciscaucasian Profile) average after removing Andi (Ciscaucasian Profile) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Andi (Ciscaucasian Profile) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
