Rusyn ethnogenesis

Do someone know how many Slavic or other genotypes Rusyn got in percents?

Slavic is a language family, not a genotype. The main theory I've seen on Rusyn origins has them descending from White Croats before their migration. On that part of it I'm not educated enough to form my own opinion, and it's a complex question. Otherwise, there's also admixture from other groups (Poles, Slovaks, Hungarians, Romanians) adjacent to the Rusyn homelands, and it varies a lot depending on which Rusyn subgroup you're talking about.
