Hi, i tried alot of modern g25 calculator with vahaduo on me and my parents and my mother scores significant middle east, like between 6 or 7%. Often it is arabian or east middle east or levantine. She is from Romania by the way. All her grandparents had Romanian names. On 23andme, she score 3.5% west asian, especially cypriot with a bit of anatolian and levantine. It is somewhat an ancient dna that survided till today or it is recent? I will post my g25 and other dna tests pictures if you guys want. I still do not understand where the middle east percentage comes from.

Turks, Pontic Greeks, Cumans, Avars, Gypsies(heavily Middle-Eastern, not only Indian).

My mother does not have any south asian anywhere wich indicate it is probably not of gypsy origins. I did not find any gypsy matches. I don't know if cumans had west asian genetics, they were heavily mongoloid influenced. Also my father also have a few turkish matches like my mother but i do not understand why my father does not score any west asian on 23andme? By the way what is the pca plot you used?
