:Jadoon

A small section of the Jadoon tribe{{snd}}using the ethnonym Gadun{{snd}}speaks Pashto, but the rest of the tribe in the Hazara region has been assimilated into the Hindkowan Hazarewal community and speaks Hindko. Sir Olaf Caroe, a British Raj-era administrator of the NWFP, counts the Jadoon tribe under the Panni sub-division in the genealogy of the Gharghasht in his book The Pathans.Caroe, Olaf (1958) The Pathans: 550 B.C. – A.D. 1957. Macmillan & Co. p. 19. {{ISBN|978-0710-30682-1}} According to the historian Ĭuriĭ Vladimirovich Gankovskiĭ (Yuri V. Gankovskiy), professor of Pakistan Studies at Institute of Oriental Studies in Moscow, the Jadoons were a tribe of Indo-Aryan origin that were assimilated by the Kakar.{{cite book |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=ymY-NQAACAAJ |title=The Peoples of Pakistan: An Ethnic History |first= Yuri Vladimirovich|last= Gankovskiy |date=1971 |page=135|location=Moscow |translator= Gavrilov, Igor|publisher=Nauka, Central Department of Oriental literature|isbn=978-9699988-32-5 |oclc=201120}}

Y haplogroup and mtdna haplogroup samples were taken from Jadoon, Yusufzai, Sayyid, Gurjar and Tanoli men living in Swabi District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. Jadoon men are of predominantly East Asian paternal ancestry with West Eurasian maternal ancestry and a lesser amount of South Asian maternal ancestry according to a Y and mtdna haplogroup test indicating local females were marrying immigrant males during the medieval period. Y Haplogroup O3-M122 makes up the majority of Jadoon men, the same haplogroup carried by the majority (50-60%) of the Han Chinese. 82.5% of Jadoon men carry Q-MEH2 and O3-M122, which are both of East Asian origin. O3-M122 was absent in the Sayyid population and appeared in low numbers among Tanolis, Gurjars and Yusufzais. There appears to be founder effect in the O3-M122 among the Jadoon.{{cite journal |last1=Tariq |first1=Muhammad |last2=Ahmad |first2=Habib |last3=Hemphill |first3= Brian E. |last4=Farooq |first4= Umar |last5=Schurr |first5= Theodore G.|date=2022 |title= Contrasting maternal and paternal genetic histories among five ethnic groups from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan|journal=Scientific Reports |volume=12 |issue=1027 |page=1027 |doi= 10.1038/s41598-022-05076-3|pmid=35046511 |pmc=8770644 |bibcode=2022NatSR..12.1027T }} 76.32% of Jadoon men carry O3-M122 while 0.75% of Tanolis, 0.81% of Gurjars and 2.82% of Yusufzais carry O3-M122.{{cite thesis |last=Tariq |first=Muhammad |date=2017 |title= Genetic Analysis of the Major Tribes of Buner and Swabi Areas through Dental Morphology and DNA Analysis|url=http://prr.hec.gov.pk/jspui/handle/123456789/9941 |type= This research study has been conducted and reported as partial fulfillment of the requirements of PhD degree in Genetics awarded by Hazara University, Mansehra, Pakistan|pages=1–229|publisher= Hazara University, Mansehra |docket=13737 }}http://prr.hec.gov.pk/jspui/bitstream/123456789/9941/1/Muhammad%20Tariq_Genetics_2017_HU_Mansehra_Main%20part.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=August 2024}}
