I am curious about the genetic makeup of Algerians. I want to know what their DNA profile looks like, possibly including any specific genetic traits or markers that are common among this group of people.

On the Y-chromosome side, the North African genetic component is more prominent.Haplotypes E-M81 and E-V65, which are characteristic of North African populations, account for 70% of the Eurasian Y-chromosome component in Algeria.

For mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the Eurasian component accounts for 80% of the Algerian population. This indicates a significant contribution from Eurasian ancestors in the maternal lineage.

In contrast, when considering the Y-chromosome, the Eurasian component rises to 90%. This suggests a higher paternal contribution from Eurasian populations.

Within the Eurasian mtDNA component in Algeria, the North African genetic element is represented by haplotypes U6 and M1. These haplotypes make up 20% of the Eurasian mtDNA in Algeria.
