A focused population profile of Armenians from Sebastia, their central Anatolian Armenian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Sebastia, modern Sivas, are connected to a major historic Armenian region of central Anatolia. Sebastia linked Cappadocia, northern Anatolia, eastern Anatolia, and western Armenian diaspora histories.
Western Armenian was historically important, while Turkish and diaspora languages may also appear in family histories. The current reference is small and should be read alongside Aintab, Kessab, Urfa, Mush, Alashkert, and Lebanese Armenian pages.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Sebastia is useful for comparison with Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Urfa, Armenian Mush, Armenian Aintab, Armenian Kessab, Armenian Alashkert, Armenian Ararat, Armenian Yerevan, Assyrian Tur Abdin, and Armenian Gesaria.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Armenian Sebastia is Armenian Lebanon. Other nearby references include Armenian Urfa, Armenian Mush, Armenian Chapaghjur, and Armenian Mamiki. This gives the Armenian Sebastia 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 Sebastia is best interpreted as a central Anatolian Armenian profile, close to Urfa, Mush, Aintab, Kessab, Alashkert, Ararat, Yerevan, Gesaria, Lebanese Armenian, and Assyrian Tur Abdin references.
The heatmap should emphasize Sebastia/Sivas, central Anatolia, Urfa, Mush, Aintab, Kessab, Alashkert, Ararat, Yerevan, Gesaria/Kayseri, Lebanon, and Tur Abdin.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Lebanon. Other nearby references include Armenian Urfa, Armenian Mush, Armenian Chapaghjur, and Armenian Mamiki.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Lebanon is the closest listed match to the Armenian Sebastia average after removing Armenian Sebastia itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Sebastia G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
