A focused population profile of Gagauz, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Gagauz is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Gagauz with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Gagauz.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Gagauz is Moldovan Stefan Voda. Other nearby references include Pomak Greece, Turkish Balkans (Balkan Profile), Bulgarian, and Turkish Western Macedonia. This gives the Gagauz profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Gagauz average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Gagauz profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Gagauz average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Moldovan Stefan Voda. Other nearby references include Pomak Greece, Turkish Balkans (Balkan Profile), Bulgarian, and Turkish Western Macedonia.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Moldovan Stefan Voda is the closest listed match to the Gagauz average after removing Gagauz itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Gagauz G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
