Medieval Super-Grandfather founder of Western Kazakh Clans from Haplogroup C2a1a2-M48.

摘要: Western Kazakhstan is populated by three clans totaling 2 million people. Since the are patrilineal, Y-chromosome most informative genetic system for tracing their origin. We genotyped 40 Y-SNP and 17 Y-STR markers in 330 Kazakhs. High phylogenetic resolution within haplogroup C2a1a2-M48 was achieved using additional SNPs. Three lines of evidence indicate that Alimuly Baiuly (but not Zhetiru clan) have a common founder placed 700 ± 200 years back STR data 500 ± 200 sequencing data. This supports traditional genealogy claims about descent these from Emir Alau, who lived 650 ago whose lineage might be carried two-thirds There accumulation specific haplogroups subclans representing other lineages, confirming clan structure corresponds with paternal steppe population.
