Sure, but studies have shown Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews have remarkable genetic homogeneity.

Also, PP: I am Jewish, not alt right. I am proud of my Jewish ethnicity and claim it, regardless of the fact that anti-Semites have exploited it to try to exterminate my grandparents and other relatives.

We are strong and proud and reject your attempts to deny our ethnic identity.[/quote]

Its remarkable, I suppose, that they have 60% mideastern ancestry (probably) after 2000 years.  But they are still 40% european ancestry, and anyway, all that is, is a certain degree of genetici homogeneity in a cultural religious group.   It does not make it an "ethnic group". [/quote]
Indeed.  When you have a small group of people intermarrying, they will have a separate identifying marker from those around them.

Except they do not. There is no "jewish" genetic marker.  Their are some genes and groups of genes that are much more common among Jews - but none that all Jews (of completely Jewish recent ancestry) share.  Not the Cohen Modal Haplotype, or any other.

[i]It becomes overwhelmingly clear that although Jews maintained detectable vertical genetic continuity along generations of socio-religious-cultural relationship, also intensive horizontal genetic relations were maintained both between Jewish communities and with the gentile surrounding. Thus, in spite of considerable consanguinity, there is no Jewish genotype to identify.

This particular thread is about Ashkenazi  Jews, not the overall Jewish group.    In that regard, they do have a specific genetic marker, like the diseases that are prevalent in their group.[/quote]
