Materials and methods. For the first time the gene pool of three Tuvan clans kol, oyun and khertek was studied on the wide SNP panel of Y-chromosome markers. The multidimensional statistical analysis was carried out based on haplogroup frequencies. The maps of genetic distances reflecting the position of three Tuvan clans in the geographical space of Siberia and Central Asia were constructed. The samples were formed from unrelated men, all the ancestors of whose belonged to a specific clan and lived within this territory for at least three generations. The collection of samples (venous blood) was accompanied by a voluntary written informed consent. Results. In the gene pool of the northeastern clan kol two large Q and N haplogroups dominate, moreover the Q-M242 branch constitutes more than one half, and N1a2-L666 about a quarter of the gene pool. The basis of the oyun clan gene pool is comprised by three haplogroups: R1a1a (xM458) – under one half, N1a2-L666-about a quarter and R1b-M343-less than a quarter of the oyun clan gene pool. Haplogroups Q-M242 and N1A2-L666, similarly to the kol clan, dominate in the gene pool of the khertek clan; they are found with equal frequency and make up about one third of the gene pool. Q-M242 haplogroup – as encountered in the kol clan variant of the haplogroup Q – was also found in the khertek; the N haplogroup was represented by two variants N1a2-L666 and N3a5-F4205. Thus, the “North Eurasian” component represented by the haplogroups Q-M242, N1a2-L666, N3a5-F4205 plays the main role in the formation of the genetic portraits of the kol and khertek clans, while the “pan-Eurasian” haplogroups form the main features of the genetic portrait of the oyun clan. Conclusion. The results produced the “genetic portraits” of three clans. It was shown that the oyun clan is genetically close to the populations of Khakassia and Altai, while the khertek and kol clans are more genetically peculiar. The analysis of the Tuvan gene pool through the clan structure shows high efficiency. Due to the apparent homogeneity of the geographic populations of the Tuvans, the genetic characteristics of the Tuvan clans become instrumental to make reconstruction of their ethnogenesis a possibility.
