Considering their NRY variation, the Lurs are distinguished from other Iranian groups by their relatively elevated frequency of Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b (specifically, of subclade R1b1a2a-L23). Together with its other clades, the R1 group comprises the single most common haplogroup among the Lurs.
The Lurs, distinguished from other Iranian groups by their elevated frequency of Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b (specifically, subclade R1b1a2a-L23), are characterized by the prevalence of this haplogroup within their lineage.
