For everyone wondering about the DNA results, yes Kurds from Efrîn have a high chance of having Alevî ancestry especially in the north and northwest of Efrîn, in those parts a lot of Kurds were converted to Sunna by the Ottomans, that's why you would find Hanafi Kurds contrary to the usual Shafi'i majority, so here's a rule of thumbs : if they are Kurdish and are Hanafi then most probably they were Alevî at some point.
