"We present here the first complete mitogenome dataset with Y-STR and Y-SNP profiles from the Avar period of the Carpathian Basin. Our results attest that the maternal and paternal genetic lineages of the Avar period elite in the Carpathian Basin were different from the European uniparental genepool of their period, and were mostly of East-Central Asian origin. The detected East-Central Asian maternal and paternal genetic composition of the elite was preserved through several generations after the Avar conquest of the Carpathian Basin."

This comes to dismiss the Pseudo-Avar theory, and shows clear proof of their origin in the Rouran Khaganate (330-555 AD).
