A study of the Chueta population has been carried out to establish the genetic relationships between the Chuetas and other Jewish and non-Jewish circum-Mediterranean populations and to identify which markers discriminate better between these populations. The analyses used were principal components analysis, factorial analysis of correspondences, and stepwise discriminant analysis. The results indicate that most of the Jewish communities resemble each other and other Middle Eastern populations, because of their common origin, but they also have affinities with their host peoples. The results also agree with those of most researchers in the importance of G6PD, FY, and MN as geographic markers and in the role of HP, GLO1, and Rh as indicators the Middle Eastern origin of the Jews but differ with respect to the geographic pattern of ABO. Moreover, the Jewish origin of the Chuetas remains evident in their genetic pool, although they resemble their neighboring populations more than other Jewish populations. Finally, HP, G6PD, ABO and Rh are the most important variables in determining the position of the Chuetas with respect to other Jewish and non-Jewish populations.
对楚埃塔人群进行了一项研究，以确定楚埃塔人与其他犹太人和非犹太的地中海周边人群之间的遗传关系，并确定哪些标记能更好地区分这些人群。所采用的分析方法为主成分分析、对应因子分析和逐步判别分析。结果表明，由于起源相同，大多数犹太群体彼此相似，也与其他中东人群相似，但他们也与所在国的民族有亲缘关系。研究结果还与大多数研究人员一致，即葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶（G6PD）、Duffy血型系统（FY）和MN血型在作为地理标记方面的重要性，以及触珠蛋白（HP）、GLO1和Rh血型在表明犹太人中东起源方面的作用，但在ABO血型的地理分布模式上存在差异。此外，楚埃塔人的犹太起源在其基因库中仍然明显，尽管他们比其他犹太人群体更类似于其邻近人群。最后，HP、G6PD、ABO和Rh是确定楚埃塔人相对于其他犹太人和非犹太人群体位置的最重要变量。
