A focused population profile of Laz, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Laz is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Laz 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 Laz.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Laz is Armenian Hemshin. Other nearby references include Turkish Meskhetian Ardahan, Turkish Rize, Turkish Meskhetian Georgia, and Georgian Adjarian. This gives the Laz profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Laz 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 Laz profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Laz average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Hemshin. Other nearby references include Turkish Meskhetian Ardahan, Turkish Rize, Turkish Meskhetian Georgia, and Georgian Adjarian.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Hemshin is the closest listed match to the Laz average after removing Laz itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Laz G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
