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 table, Andi with a Ciscaucasian profile is closest to Lak, Godoberi, Avar, Botlikh, Dargin, Tabasaran, Akhvakh, Kaitag, Chamalal, and Tindi. The result places this Andi profile firmly in the Dagestani and Northeast Caucasus highland comparison space.
| Population | Distance |

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 label separates this Andi reference from the Transcaucasian profile and indicates that it falls closer to Dagestani/Northeast Caucasus references north of the main Caucasus range.
Yes. Avar appears among the closest matches, alongside Lak, Godoberi, Botlikh, Dargin, Tabasaran, Akhvakh, and other Dagestani references.
Yes. The two pages represent different Andi-related profiles in the database and are useful side by side.
