Haplogroup Q-P89.1 is a subclade of Y-DNA Haplogroup Q-MEH2.[1] Haplogroup Q-P89.1 is defined by the presence of the P89.1 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP). In 2010, Q-P89.1 was reclassified as "private" and removed from the haplotree.[2]

Distribution edit

Q-P89.1 has descendants in the Northwest Territory of modern Canada. It was in pre-Columbian American populations that it was discovered.[1][3]

The Americas edit

Q-P89.1 is present in pre-Columbian populations in the Canadian Northwest.[1]

Population Paper N Percentage SNP Tested
Gwich’in Dulik 2012 0/33 ~0.00% P89.1
Tłįchǫ Dulik 2012 1/37 ~2.70% P89.1
Inuvialuit Dulik 2012 0/56 ~0.00% P89.1
Inupiat Dulik 2012 0/5 ~0.00% P89.1

Asia edit

Because samples from Asia have only sporadically been tested for this lineage, its frequency there is uncertain.

Associated SNPs edit

Q-P89.1 is currently defined by only the P89.1 SNP.
