Group Administrator: Gareth Henson henson.dna@breathe.com
Project Background:
This project welcomes anyone who has been predicted or SNP-tested as Y-Haplogroup L.
Haplogroup L is found mainly in India and Pakistan but also in the Middle East and very occasionally in Europe, particularly in Mediterranean countries.
For more information please see Marco Cagetti's web page

Project Goals:
The aim of the project is to investigate the history of haplogroup L and its subgroups, and so assist project members in following their personal ancestral trails.
The project will also investigate STR markers that have unusual values in haplogroup L and so assist project members and the wider Genetic Genealogy community in the interpretation of DNA results. |
Project News:
The Project was started on January 15th 2006.
6 members have joined within the first 24 hours.
Welcome and thank you for your prompt responses!
4 more members have joined during the first 10 days.
As at 4th July 2006 we now have 20 members.
August 2007 - we now have 40 members
June 2008 - the Project has grown to 53 members |
Project Results:
Our first members are from several different geographical locations and their results show considerable variation. As the project grows we will try to identify haplotype clusters and link them to possible ancestral regions.
31st January 2006.
Using FTDNA's brand new sub-grouping function 9 of the 10 members are now shown as allocated to a predicted subgroup. This grouping is supported by network analysis of the 1st 12 markers.
16th February 2006.
All 10 members now have a subgroup prediction.
17th February 2006.
7 project members have now been confirmed as haplogroup L by testing positive for SNP M20.
August 2007 - 7 members have results for 67 markers confirming the deep ancestral divisions within haplogroup L.
11 members have results for 37 or more markers.
If you have results for only 12 or 25 markers please consider upgrading to 37 or 67 markers.
June 2008
The L2a group is large enough to begin to see subgroupings so I have provisionally created 3 based on the closest matches at 67 markers. Others have been assigned to the nearest matching subgroup. The most significant marker appears to be DYS392. More results are needed to consolidate these subgroups.
The L3(?) group has also been split based on distinctive values at DYS385a. The two groups have 7 and 9 for this marker, both unusually low values and possibly very stable, so useful for confirming deep ancestral relationships. |
DNA Test Results (Alleles) for Project Members
* Haplogroups in green have been
confirmed by SNP testing. Haplogroups in red have
been predicted by Family Tree DNA based on unambiguous results in the
individual's personal page. This has been placed on this GAP page for your ease
and convenience. Please note that for any predicted results we see no reason for
ordering a SNP test to confirm the Haplogroup. if a – is in the HAPLO field then
we feel that the comparative results are not clear and unambiguous and if the
kit holder wants to know their SNP with 100% confidence they may consider
ordering a SNP confirmation test.
