[andre]

Hi guys! There is some autosomal dna datas to pick from this research?

[Ion Basescul]

They compare an average containing two pure Gypsies from Romania (the Behar set from Valcele, Covasna) to Csangos and then conclude that Csangos are closer to Hungarians than Romanians. I wouldn't trust these guys with brewing me a cup of tea, let alone genetic data.

[Dunai]

The official findings also correlate well with the K13 calculator which shows a closer affinity of Csángós to Hungarians rather than Romanians and one of the highest Central and East Asian components in any European population.
