Three different types of genetic polymorphisms studied in Ethiopian Jews are reviewed and used in genetic distance analyses between them and several relevant populations. In classical markers Ethiopian Jews cluster with other Ethiopian tribes and occupy a central position on a principal component map between African and Asian populations. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA types and 5' beta-globin haplotypes portrays Ethiopian Jews in the same manner, and locates them between African and Caucasoid populations. Their genetic profile as mirrored through these genetic markers correlates with their geographic origin and reflects both Caucasoid and Negroid components in their gene pool.
本文综述了在埃塞俄比亚犹太人中研究的三种不同类型的基因多态性，并将其用于他们与几个相关群体之间的遗传距离分析。在经典标记方面，埃塞俄比亚犹太人与其他埃塞俄比亚部落聚类，并在非洲和亚洲人群之间的主成分图上占据中心位置。线粒体DNA类型和5'β-珠蛋白单倍型的分析也以同样的方式描绘了埃塞俄比亚犹太人，并将他们定位在非洲和高加索人群之间。通过这些遗传标记反映出的他们的遗传特征与他们的地理起源相关，并反映了他们基因库中的高加索和黑人成分。
