ISOGG 2013 Y-DNA Haplogroup J (2024)

Experimental J1 Tree by Victor Mas.

Private SNPs - After having been investigated, these SNPs have not met the population distributioncriteria for placement on the tree. Either too few confirmed positive testers have been found OR multipleconfirmed testers were confined to either a single surname or to a small group of related males.

• M289 is downstream of L24 and possibly parallel to M137. Listed 7 August 2012.

SNPs under Investigation - Additional testing is needed to confirm adequate positive samplesand/or correct placement on the tree.

• Page52.2 is located at approximately J-L222.2. Listed on 2 March 2012.
• DYS455≤9 is located downstream of J-M241. Listed on 26 April 2012.
• CTS358.1/YSC0001270 and CTS7193.1 are located at approximatelyJ-M304. Listed 9 March 2013.
• CTS8127.1/YSC0001289 is located at approximately J-M267. Listed 9 March 2013.
• YSC0000081.1 is located at approximately J-L147. Listed 9 March 2013.

Caveats for the information from Karafet et al (2008):

• The M419 mutation was not tested on P81 and P279 chromosomes because of theabsence of positive control DNAs.

NOTES:

• King et al (2008) uses the notation of DYS445-6 rather than this tree's DYS445≤7.
• Identical SNPs that were discovered separately are listed in alphabetical order, not necessarily inthe order of discovery, and separated by "/". Example: M67/S51.

Y-DNA haplogroup J evolved in the ancient Near East and was carried into North Africa, Europe,Central Asia, Pakistan and India. J2 lineages originated in the area known as the FertileCrescent. The main spread of J2 into the Mediterranean area is thought to have coincided withthe expansion of agricultural peoples during the Neolithic period. The timing of the demographicevents that brought J2 to Central Asia, Pakistan, and India is not yet known. J1 lineages mayhave a more southern origin, as they are more often found in the Levant region, other parts ofthe Near East, and North Africa, with a sparse distribution in the southern Mediterranean flankof Europe, and in Ethiopia.

There is a descending gradient in the frequency of occurrence of haplogroup J from the MiddleEast toward the northwest of Europe, reaching about 3% of the population on the northwestAtlantic coast. The occurrence of J in Europe is undoubtedly due both to the Neolithic expansionand to episodic migrations, though the relative proportion of those two sources is controversialand may not be the same in different locations.

A significant fraction of Jews belong to haplogroup J, but Jews represent a small minorityof the European members of the haplogroup. The "Cohen Modal Haplotype" is a specific set ofsix Y-STR marker values that occurs in both J1 and J2, though at a much higher frequency in J1.
