Chuvash, Bulgarians, Caucasians and Bulgars. The Chuvash are believed
to originate from the ancient Bulgars that inhabited the western region of the Volga
River and came from Central Asia in the 4th century a.d. The Great Bulgaria
was divided into five different hordes, the fourth corresponding to the Chuvash
and the fifth representing present-day Bulgarians (see introductory paragraphs).
From the data obtained in the present work, the genetic backgrounds of both populations
are clearly different. The Chuvash have a central European and some
Mediterranean genetic background (probably coming from the Caucasus), while
the Bulgarians have a classical eastern Mediterranean composition, grouping with
Macedonians and Iranians in the neighbor-joining trees obtained by using DR and
DQ genetic distances (Figure 4) and confirmed by correspondence analysis (Figure
5). It is possible that only a cultural and low genetic Bulgar influence was
brought into the region without modifying the genetic background of the local
population.
The Chuvash relatedness to Caucasian (Georgians) and Middle Eastern
people suggests that the Chuvash genetic pool has characteristics from ancient
Middle Eastern, Caucasian, and Mesopotamian people. A south-to-north gene
flow may then be postulated for the Chuvash while only northern European or
Asian relatedness was previously postulated (Livshits et al. 1999a). Middle East,
Anatolian, and Caucasian people are likely to genetically represent the ancient
population stock of the area, that is, Hittites and Mesopotamians. Other invasions
have had a noticeable cultural but not a genetic impact (Arnaiz-Villena et al.
2001c, 2002). On the other hand, whether the Chuvash are a remnant of the Bulgar Hordes cannot be resolved with the data presented in this paper, and further studies are necessary.

Ами човекът си е написал - от направеното изследване не става ясно дали чувашите са наследници на българската орда. И дава очевидното - че в етногенезиса им участват кавказки и северноевропейски групи /угро-фини/ - което ние много добре си го знаем и без генетични тестове.
Колкото до българите - "ясната източносредиземноморска композиция" - не виждам нищо ново и нищо необичайно, а това, че тази композиция е характерна за Иран ние, както се казва, много добре си го знаеме.
