Haplogroup Q-P89.1

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]

Haplogroup Q-P89.1
Possible time of origin	Insufficient data [1]
Possible place of origin	Asia or Beringia
Ancestor	Q-MEH2
Defining mutations	P89.1

Distribution

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

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

Asia

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

Associated SNPs

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