Houshmand M, Sanati M H, Vakilian M, Akuchekian M, Babrzadeh F, Teimori M, et al. Investigation of the mitochondrial haplogroups M, BM,N, J, K and their frequencies in five regions in Iran. Iran J Biotech 2004; 2:44-48.
R1b is the most common haplogroup in Western Europe, reaching over 80% of the population in Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, western Wales, the Atlantic fringe of France and the Basque country. It is also common in Anatolia and around the Caucasus, in parts of Russia and in Central and So...
Finally, two mitogenomes – also from Iran and the Caucasus – did not cluster with any of hgs U7a–f and remained as unlabelled single lineages. In agreement with previous observations16, U7c appears to be restricted to South Asia (Fig. 1A and Supplementary Figure S1). In ...
R1b-L584 is found especially in Iran, northern Iraq, the South Caucasus and Turkey, and correlates more with the Iranian branch of Indo-Europeans, which includes Persians, Kurds and Scythians.Distribution of haplogroup R1b-ht35 (Z2103) in Europe...
It also differs in its incidence across the populations (a2¼95.10, Po0.001, df¼9) ranging from 4.3% in an Ashkenazi group to 24.4% in Jewish Near Eastern communities of Iran and Iraq. There is also a high prevalence of total T in Italy, as expected, and in parts of Saudi Arabia...
Iran and the Near East. Q1b1 probably settled in the Levant at the same time as R1a-Z93, as both lineages are found among the Jews and the Lebanese and in places historically colonised by the Phoenicians.Autosomal analyseshave confirmed that all Levantine people (Jews, Lebanese, Palestinians,...
Phylogeny of mtDNA macrohaplogroup N in India based on complete sequencing: implications for the peopling of South Asia - Palanichamy, Sun, et al. () Citation Context ...have shown that the two major mitochondrial lineages that emerged from Africa (haplogroups M and N, dating to ...
It is not yet clear whether M73 actually migrated across the Caucasus and reached Central Asia via Kazakhstan, or if it went south through Iran and Turkmenistan. In any case, M73 would be a pre-Indo-European branch of R1b, just like V88 and M335.R1b-M269 (the most common form in ...
HaplogroupG1is found predominantly in Iran, but is also found in the Levant, among Ashkenazi Jews, and in Central Asia (notably in Kazakhstan). G2a makes up 5 to 10% of the population of Mediterranean Europe, but is relatively rare in northern Europe. The only regions where haplogroup G2...
in the Near East, whilst for U7a these statistics cannot differentiate between South Asia and the Near East (including the Caucasus) as a possible homeland. Within the Near East hg U7 is most frequent and diverse in Iran, whilst in South Asia its frequency and diversity peaks are in the ...
