haplogroup g (y-dna) by country haplogroup g (y-dna) by country in human genetics, haplogroup g (m201) is a y-chromosome haplogroup none of the sampling done by research studies shown here would qualify as true random sampling, and thus any percentages of haplogroup g provided country by country are only rough approximations of what would be found in the full population. africa algeria in 46 samples taken in algeria in a 2008 study, 2% were found to be g. snp testing was not done, but this one sample was predicted g based on haplotype. when originally tested for snps, g was not an available test. in a 2011 study, none of 20 samples from berber mozabites in algeria were g. comoros islands in a 2011 study of 577 men in the comoros islands off the southeastern african coast, 1.8% were g2a (p15+) and 0.3% were in other unspecified g categories, but none were g1. egypt of 147 samples from among egyptians in egypt (2004), 9% were g. and in a 2009 study, among 116 egyptians, 6.9% were g. in a study of 35 samples from oasis el-hayez in the western egyptian desert area, none were g. libya a survey of the population of libya based on testing of snps is lacking, but a close approximation for the population in tripoli in the western part of the country based on the str markers of 63 samples from there in the yhrd database indicates 7.9% are g using the athey haplogroup predictor. of 20 jews of libya, 10% were found to be g. these men seemingly were then living in israel. morocco in 147 samples taken in morocco, 1% were found to be g. in another study 1% of 312 samples in morocco were g. another study gathered samples only from hamlets in morocco's azgour valley, where none of 33 samples were determined g. these hamlets were selected because they were felt to be typically berber in composition. a study of 20 moroccan jews found 30% were g. the tested men were then apparently living in israel. another study of jewish men found 19.3% of 83 jewish men from morocco belonged to haplogroup g. south africa in a 2011 study, in south africa no g was found among 8 african men. in a 2010 study, no g found in south africa among 343 southeastern bantu speakers or 183 khoe-san speakers, but 5.7% of 157 south african whites were g. anatolia, the levant and arabian peninsula cyprus among 166 samples from cyprus, 13.3% were g. iraq among 139 samples taken in iraq in a 2003 study, 2.2% were found to be g. in a 2011 study, 1.4% of 143 marsh arabs were found to be g, versus 1.9% of 154 other iraqis. a 2004 study sampled 20 iraqi jews (apparently living in israel), and 10% were found to be g2a (p15+). another study of iraqi jews in 2010 found 10.1% of 79 men were g. israel among 738 jews in israel 9.8% were found to be g. the g2a (p15+) types were in the majority, with g2b (formerly g2c) being the next most common type. among the gnostic druze, g was found in 4% of 37 samples on the golan heights; in 14% of 183 samples in the galilee; and in 12% of 35 samples in the carmel. another study which sampled 20 druze men apparently living in israel, none had the g mutation. among palestinians apparently living in israel, 75% of 20 samples were found to be g2a (p15+). in the same study, among samaritans in israel none of 12 samples was g. in the human genome diversity cell line panel (ceph-hdgp) "central israel" palestinian sample (n=17), 59% (10) were g. a study of 329 druze men found 12.5% were haplogroup g. this study was not confined to israel, but was probably mostly israeli. jordan among 273 samples taken in jordan, 5.5% were g. in another study, 5.9% of 101 jordanian samples at amman were g, and 0% of 45 samples in the dead sea area in jordan were g. kuwait in 42 samples taken in kuwait, 2.4% were g. in a study confined to bedouin tribes of kuwait, among 148 samples 3.4% were g. most of these were found among the aniza. all these were g2a (p15+). lebanon in 916 samples in a 2008 study from lebanon, 6% were g. among 322 samples from lebanon in a 2010 study, 7.7% were g. within the religious groups, 7.1% of 195 catholic maronites were g, 29.4% of 17 greek catholics, 5% of 60 greek orthodox, 7.6% of 26 sunni muslims, 6.2% of 16 shiite muslims and 0% of 9 druze men. in 29 samples from a 2008 study among the druze in lebanon, none were g in contrast to significant percentages of g among them in syria and israel. oman of 121 samples taken among arabs of oman, 2% were g. palestine among 291 samples taken in palestine 8.9% were g. qatar in 72 samples taken in qatar, 2.8% were g. all were g2a (p15+). saudi arabia among 22 samples taken in saudi arabia in a 2005 study, 4.5% were g. in another study from 2009, of 157 saudi samples, 0.64% were g1 and 2.55% g2. syrian arab republic among 356 samples taken in syria, 4.8% were g. in another study of syria, 5.5% of 200 samples were g. in yet another study, 3.5% of 87 syrian samples were g. in another study, among 26 samples taken among the druze in syria 14% were g. turkey among 523 samples from turkey in a 2004 study, 9.2% were g. the g1/g1a samples were found only among the northeastern turkey samples. the single g2b* was found in kars province in the far northeast. of the 9.2% g total, the g samples were found in each of the following subgroups: (a) g2b*(m377+ m283-) n=1; (b) g1* (m342+) n=1; (c) g1a (p20+) n=4; (d) g2a* (p15+) n=37; (e) g2a1 (p16+) n=5; and (f) g2b (m286+) n=1. a 2011 study retested the same samples and found that within those listed g2a* (p15+) men, 10 were g2a3a (m406) a 2011 study found that in the west central turkish towns of foça and i̇zmir, 3% of 89 samples were g2a3a (m406+) and an additional 4% were unspecified other types of g. a 2012 study that sampled ethnic armenians in eastern turkey found no g1 (m285) among 207 men. but 2% of 104 samples at sasun were g2a1 (p16) with no p16 found at lake van. in contrast, g2a (p15) but not g2a1 was found in 8% of lake van and 11% of sasun men. among 87 kurmanji-speaking kurds in southeastern turkey in a 2005 study, 2.3% were found to be g. and among 27 zazaki-speaking kurds in the same area, 3.7% were g. a 2008 doctoral dissertation that sampled 140 men in four towns in central turkey found 4 of 49 men at "town 1" were g2, 1 of 30 at "town 2", and none of 31 and 30 men respectively at "town 3" and "town 4" were g2. however, the author only applied prediction software to str samples to determine the haplogroups. he concluded that the genetic diversity found suggests "multiple ancestral populations contributed to the genetic make-up of the area." one g2 man had known origins in northeastern turkey. united arab emirates in 164 samples taken in the united arab emirates, 4.2% were g. the majority were of the g1 type. yemen in 62 samples taken in yemen, 1.6% were g. all were g2a (p15+). in another study that concentrated on the island of soqotra, none of 63 samples was g. in another study among 20 jewish yemenis, 5% were g2a (p15+) and another 5% were g1 (m285+). these men were apparently then living in israel. a 2010 study of jewish men found 0% of 74 jewish men from yemen were haplogroup g. caucasus mountains region armenia among 100 samples taken in armenia for a 2003 study, 11% were g. and a 2011 study. found 11% of 57 armenian samples were g1 and 11% g2a. a 2012 study found that none of 206 armenian samples were g2a1 (p16), but 2% of 110 men in the ararat valley in the west and 1% of 96 men at gardman in the east were g1 (m285). much more of g2a (p15) but not g2a1 was found, totalling 9% of the ararat valley men and 4.5% of gardman men. a 2010 study that concentrated on jewish men found 21% of 57 jewish men from armenia were haplogroup g. note that jews in armenia are mostly recent askenazi and georgian. azerbaijan among 72 samples taken in azerbaijan 18% were g. in a study that concentrated on the talysh of the southern tip of azerbaijan, 3% of 40 samples were found to be g. a study that sampled jews from azerbaijan found 16% of 57 men were haplogroup g. georgia among 61 samples taken in georgia (2001), 30% were g. among 77 samples taken in georgia (2003), 31% were g. georgia has the highest percentage of g among the general population recorded in any country. among 66 samples taken in georgia (2009), 31.6% were g2a (p15+). of this 31.6% figure, 1.5% were g2a3a (m406+), and the remainder were unspecified other types of g2a. most of states worldwide recognize abkhazia and south ossetia as part of georgia. in abkhazia 55% of 60 samples were found to be g as listed in a 2009 presentation by khadizhat dibirova. in a 2011 study, 47% of 162 abkhazians were found g2a. in south ossetia 48% of 10 samples were found g2a. g1 was absent from both locations. another 2011 study found among 58 abkhazians that 12% were g2a1a (p18), 21% were g2a3b1 (p303) and 24% other g2a (p15) in a study of jewish men, 4.8% of 62 jewish men from georgia were haplogroup g. russian federation

population of northeast caucasian language family andic-speaking chamalal to be 19% (n=5/27) g2a-p15, and all of this was an unknown sub-clade of g2a-p15 listed as "g2c" (currently classified as g2b)which was not defined in 2006 when this study was conducted (no snp testing was done for true g2b-m377). since this study tested only g-m201 and g2a-p15, it is possible that this sub-clade may actually be g2a1-p16, since a number of the likely g haplotypes from daghestan are actually g2a1-p16. he also reported that 12% (n=76) of the kumyks tested were g – with that figure composed of 11% g2a (p15+) and 1% (1/76) listed as "g2c", which again at the time a sub-clade of g2a-p15, likely g2a1-p16). in these russian tabulations above (1) g2a3a-m406 man among the avars and (1) g1-m285 man
