A focused population profile of Armenians from Adana, their Cilician Armenian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Adana are connected to Cilicia in southern Anatolia, a region with a deep Armenian history, medieval Cilician Armenian state traditions, Ottoman-era communities, and later diaspora formation after the upheavals of the early twentieth century.
Western Armenian was historically important for many Ottoman Armenian communities, while Turkish and diaspora languages may also be part of family history. This reference has a small sample size, so it should be read alongside other western Armenian and diaspora Armenian pages.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Adana is useful for comparison with Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Mush, Armenian Yerevan, broad Armenian, Armenian Aintab, Assyrian Armenia, Armenian Ararat, Armenian Urfa, Armenian Alashkert, and Armenian Van.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Armenian Adana is Armenian Mamiki. Other nearby references include Armenian Havav, Armenian Chapaghjur, Armenian Lebanon, and Armenian Mush. This gives the Armenian Adana profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Armenian Adana is best interpreted as a Cilician/western Armenian profile, close to Lebanese Armenian, Mush, Yerevan, Aintab, Ararat, Urfa, Alashkert, Van, and Assyrian Armenia references.
The heatmap should emphasize Adana, Cilicia, Lebanon's Armenian diaspora, eastern Anatolia, Yerevan, Ararat, Mush, Urfa, Alashkert, Van, and the Armenian Highland.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Mamiki. Other nearby references include Armenian Havav, Armenian Chapaghjur, Armenian Lebanon, and Armenian Mush.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Mamiki is the closest listed match to the Armenian Adana average after removing Armenian Adana itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Adana G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
