The Jadoon,[a] also known as Gadun[1] or Jadun (Pashto: ږدون،ګدون،سدون،زدون; Hindko: جدون) are a Pashtun tribe residing mostly in the Hazara and Kohistan regions as well as in the Swabi district of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Some members of the tribe also live in Nangarhar and Kunar in Afghanistan.[2][3][4]

History
A small section of Jadoon tribe – using the ethnonym Gadun – speak Pashto but the larger group living in the Hazara region has been assimilated into the Hindkowan Hazarewal community and speaks Hindko.[1] Sir Olaf Caroe, a British Raj-era administrator of NWFP, counts Jadoon tribe under Panni sub-divison in the genealogy of the Gharghasht in his book The Pathans.[5] According to the historian I︠U︡riĭ Vladimirovich Gankovskiĭ (Yuri V. Gankovsky), 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.[6]
Sakhi Jan Jadoon was a Pashtun leader of the Jadoon tribe, born in 1790 and died in the Battle of Attock in 1831. Along with Syed Ahmad Barelvi, Sakhi Jan Jadoon partook in the freedom fighting efforts against the Sikh Khalsa regime and is known as a brave fighter among the Pashtuns of Swabi, Abbottabad, Haripur and the Gadoon area.[b][citation needed]
Genetics
Y haplogroup and mtdna haplogroup samples were taken from Jadoon, Yousafzai, Sayyid, Gujaran and Tanoli men living in Swabi District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. Jadoon men have predominantly East Asian origin 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 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 Han Chinese. 82.5% of Jadoon men carrying Q-MEH2 and O3-M122 which are both of East Asian origin. O3-M122 was absent in the Sayyid (Syed) population and appeared in low numbers among Tanolis, Gujars and Yousafzais. There appears to be founder affect in the O3-M122 among the Jadoon.[7] 76.32% of Jadoon men carry O3-M122 while 0.75% of Tanolis, 0.81% of Gujars and 2.82% of Yousafzais carry O3-M122.[8][9]
56.25% of Jadoons in another test carried West Eurasian maternal Haplogroup H (mtDNA).[10] Dental morphology of the Swabi Jadoons was also analyzed and compared to other groups in the regions like Yousufzais and Sayyids.[11]
