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 ...
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 ...

Hg G is most common in the Caucasus with a maximum frequency exceeding 70% in North Ossetians,2,3 decreasing to 13% in Iran4 and then rapidly dissipating further eastward. Hg G also occurs at frequencies ranging from 5 to 15% in both the rest of Near/Middle East and southern European ...
