The first large-scale fine characterization of Tunisian H lineages clarifies that the post-Last glacial maximum expansion originating in Iberia not only led to the resettlement of Europe but also of North Africa. We found that 46% of 81 Tunisian H lineages subscreened for 1,580 bp in mtDNA coding region were affiliated with H1 and H3 subhaplogroups, which are known to have originated in Iberia. Although no signs of local expansion were detected, which would allow a clear dating of their introduction, the younger and less diverse Tunisian H1 and H3 lineages indicate Iberia as the radiating centre. Major contributions from historical migrations to this Iberian genetic imprint in Tunisia were ruled out by the mtDNA gene pool similarity between Berber/Arab/cosmopolitan samples and some "Andalusian" communities, settled by the descendents of the "Moors" who once lived in Iberia for 10 centuries (between 8th and 17th centuries), before being expelled to Tunisia.
对突尼斯H谱系的首次大规模精细表征表明，末次盛冰期后起源于伊比利亚半岛的扩张不仅导致了欧洲的重新定居，也导致了北非的重新定居。我们发现，在mtDNA编码区对1580 bp进行亚筛选的81个突尼斯H谱系中，46%与已知起源于伊比利亚半岛的H1和H3亚单倍群相关。尽管未检测到本地扩张的迹象，从而无法明确确定它们引入的时间，但较年轻且多样性较低的突尼斯H1和H3谱系表明伊比利亚半岛是辐射中心。柏柏尔人/阿拉伯人/国际化样本与一些“安达卢西亚”社区之间的mtDNA基因库相似性排除了历史移民对突尼斯这种伊比利亚基因印记的主要贡献，这些“安达卢西亚”社区是由曾经在伊比利亚半岛生活了10个世纪（8世纪至17世纪），后被驱逐到突尼斯的“摩尔人”后裔定居的。
