Also noted as Juan Martinez (with source) as baptised 2 jun 1520 in Santa Catalina,
El Bonillo, Abacete, Spain, although his alleged son Juan "Francisco" Martinez
baptism record has not been found. The record is difficult to read, but father is
listed as Pedro Martinez and mother as Catalina Gomez, and paternal grandfather
was noted in index as Fernando Yanes.
- (Research):A rare combination of mutations within mitochondrial DNA subhaplogroup T2e is
identified as affiliated with Sephardic Jews, a group that has received relatively little
attention. Four investigations were pursued: Search of the motif in 250 000 control
region records across 8 databases, comparison of frequencies of T subhaplogroups
(T1, T2b, T2c, T2e, T4, T*) across 11 diverse populations, creation of a phylogenic
median-joining network from public T2e control region entries, and analysis of one
Sephardic mitochondrial full genomic sequence with the motif. It was found that the
rare motif belonged only to Sephardic descendents (Turkey, Bulgaria), to inhabitants
of North American regions known for secret Spanish- Jewish colonization, or were
consistent with Sephardic ancestry. The incidence of subhaplogroup T2e decreased
from the Western Arabian Peninsula to Italy to Spain and into Western Europe. The
ratio of sister subhaplogroups T2e to T2b was found to vary 40-fold across
populations from a low in the British Isles to a high in Saudi Arabia with the ratio in
Sephardim more similar to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Italy than to hosts Spain and
Portugal. Coding region mutations of 2308G and 14499T may locate the Sephardic
signature within T2e, but additional samples and reworking of current T2e
phylogenetic branch structure is needed. The Sephardic Turkish community has a less
pronounced founder effect than some Ashkenazi groups considered singly (eg, Polish),
but other comparisons of interest await comparable averaging. Registries of
signatures will benefit the study of populations with a large number of smaller-size
founders.
