摘要: Background Y-SNP haplogroup G (hgG), defined by Y-SNP marker M201, is relatively uncommon in the United States general population, with only 8 additional sub-markers characterized. Many of previously described eight are either very rare (2–4%) or do not distinguish between major populations within this hg. In fact, prior to current study, 2% our reference Caucasian population belonged hgG and all these individuals were sub-haplogroup G2a, P15. Additional Y-SNPs needed order differentiate haplogroup.
