Haplogroup Q-L53

Q-L53 is a subclade of haplogroup Q-M346. Q-L53 is defined by the presence of the L53 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP).

Haplogroup Q-L53
Possible place of origin	Eurasia
Ancestor	Q-M346
Descendants	Q-54
Defining mutations	L53, L55, L213, L331, L475, L476

Distribution

Q-L53 has descendants across much of Eurasia and in the pre-Columbian Americas. It is the parent of the major Haplogroup Q-L54 branch.

Associated SNPs

Q-L53 is currently defined by the L53 SNP as well as the L55, L213, L331, L475, and L476 SNPs.
