Haplogroup Q-M346 is a subclade of Y-DNA
Haplogroup Q. Haplogroup Q-M346 is defined by the presence of the M346
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism
In genetics, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP ; plural SNPs ) is a germline substitution of a single nucleotide at a specific position in the genome. Although certain definitions require the substitution to be present in a sufficiently larg ...
(SNP).
Origin and distribution
Q-M346 was discovered in Central Asia and announced in Sengupta 2006.
A latter paper suggested that its ancestral state was isolated to India,
but this has since been refuted by its presence in West Asia,
Europe and the Americas.
Asia
Q-M346 has a wide distribution across much of Asia.
The Americas
In the Americas, the founding paternal lineages include those who are Q-M346 but do not belong to the Q-M3 lineage.
Associated SNPs
Q-M346 is marked by the presence of the M346 SNP. Since the discovery of M346 several additional SNPs have been found to also be associated with Q-M346. These SNP's include: L56 and L57. These SNPs appear to be "parallel" to M346.
