The distribution of the Fy gene was studied in 1,207 Israeli Jews and 509 Arabs. The Fy(a--b--) phenotype (FyFy) was observed in Moslem, Christian and Druze Arabs, and in Jewish immigrants from Yemen and Iraq, but not in Sephardi or Ashkenazi Jews. The Fy gene frequencies in Arabs and Jews were compatible with historical evidence of interactions with native African and admixed regional populations. Compared with Rho (cDe) and Jsa, Fy(a--b--) is a more useful genetic marker for recognizing African admixture in Middle Eastern populations.
在1207名以色列犹太人和509名阿拉伯人中研究了Fy基因的分布情况。在穆斯林、基督教和德鲁兹派阿拉伯人，以及来自也门和伊拉克的犹太移民中观察到了Fy(a--b--)表型（FyFy），但在西班牙裔或阿什肯纳兹犹太人中未观察到。阿拉伯人和犹太人中的Fy基因频率与与非洲本土和混合区域人群互动的历史证据相符。与Rho（cDe）和Jsa相比，Fy(a--b--)是识别中东人群中非洲混合血统的更有用的遗传标记。
