Haplogroup C is a major Y-chromosome haplogroup, defined by UEPs M130/RPS4Y 711, P184, P255, and P260, which are all SNP mutations.

In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup C is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. Haplogroup C is believed to have arisen in East Asia [4] some 24,000 years before present.

Jul 30, 2024 · One of the oldest haplogroups in Asia, haplogroup C, likely accompanied Q more than 10,000 years ago. And as haplogroup Q grew in large numbers and spread across thousands of indigenous groups, C managed to survive, even if statistically, nearly invisible.

Haplogroup C-M217, also known as C2 (and previously as C3), [1] is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. It is the most frequently occurring branch of the wider Haplogroup C (M130).

Mar 11, 2015 · Haplogroup C is one of two haplogroups, the other being Q, which are found as part of the Native American paternal population in the Americas. Both C and Q were founded in Asia and subgroups of both are found today in Asia, Europe and the New World.

Mar 2, 2017 · Haplogroup C is the third largest Native haplogroup with 22.99% of the Native population falling into this haplogroup. Haplogroup C is primarily found in Asia per the Genographic heat map. The haplogroup C tree is as follows:

Sep 18, 2013 · Haplogroups A, B, C, D and X are known as Native American haplogroups, although not all subgroups in each main haplogroup are Native, so one has to be more specific. Please note that I am adding information from haplogroup projects at Family Tree DNA.

Haplogroup C is a very rare lineage in Europe. The few Europeans who belong C either belong to the European C-V20, the Middle Eastern C-M358, or the Mongolian C3-M217. Haplogroup C3 has also been identified in one Hunnic skeleton from the Iron Age in present-day Mongolia.

Mar 19, 2025 · Today, Haplogroup C is found among descendants of the Mongols and Turks, such as those currently living in China and the Koreas. C groups such as C4-M347 have even been found in Australia among descendants of the Aborigines, in keeping with extended migration patterns from that period.

More specifically, a haplotype is a combination of alleles at different chromosomal regions that are closely linked and tend to be inherited together. As a haplogroup consists of similar haplotypes, it is usually possible to predict a haplogroup from haplotypes. Haplogroups pertain to a …
