Geographic Partitioning (five groups). 1 Middle East: Northern Iran and Southern Iran. 2 Levant: Jewish-Ashkenazi. 3 West Central Asia: North Afghanistan, South Afghanistan. 4 South Central Asia: India, Balochi, Hazara, Kalash, Makrani, Pathan, Sindhi, Barhui, and Burusho. 5 South East Europe: Greece-Athens, Heraklion, Prefecture-Crete, Lasithi Plateau-Crete and Lasithi Prefecture-Crete. ΦST=variance within populations; ΦSC=variance among populations within groups; Φ CT=variance among groups.
