A focused population profile of Navarre Basques from Spain, their western Pyrenean background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Navarre Basques are associated with Navarre in northern Spain, a historically important Basque and Pyrenean region linking the western Pyrenees, the Ebro basin, Aragon, and the French Basque Country.
Basque and Spanish are both important in Navarre, though language use varies by zone. This reference has a small sample size, so it should be read alongside the more detailed Navarre Central-West, Northwest, and Roncal pages.
As a genetic reference, Basque Spain Navarre is useful for comparison with French Occitanie Hautes-Pyrénées Bigorre Lourdes, broad Basque France, French Nouvelle-Aquitaine Pyrénées-Atlantiques Béarn, Basque France Lower Navarre, broad Basque Spain, Basque France Soule, Spanish Biscay West Cantabrian, French Occitanie Hautes-Pyrénées Bigorre, Spanish Castile and Leon Burgos North, Basque Spain Navarre Central-West, Spanish Aragon North, and Basque Spain Navarre Roncal.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Basque Spain Navarre is Basque France. Other nearby references include French Occitanie Hautes-Pyrénées Bigorre Lourdes, French Nouvelle-Aquitaine Pyrénées-Atlantiques Béarn, Basque France Lower Navarre, and Basque Spain. This gives the Basque Spain Navarre profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Navarre Basque ancestry is best interpreted as western Pyrenean and Basque-related, with nearby Bearn, Bigorre, French Basque, Spanish Basque, Aragonese, Castilian, and Cantabrian references adding regional context.
The heatmap should emphasize Navarre, the western Pyrenees, French Basque Country, Bearn, Bigorre, Aragon, Burgos, Cantabria-facing Biscay, and nearby Spanish Basque regions.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Basque France. Other nearby references include French Occitanie Hautes-Pyrénées Bigorre Lourdes, French Nouvelle-Aquitaine Pyrénées-Atlantiques Béarn, Basque France Lower Navarre, and Basque Spain.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Basque France is the closest listed match to the Basque Spain Navarre average after removing Basque Spain Navarre itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Basque Spain Navarre G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
