Haplogroup Q-P89.1 is a subclade of Y-DNA Haplogroup Q-MEH2.
Haplogroup Q-P89.1 is defined by the presence of the P89.1
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). In 2010, Q-P89.1 was reclassified as "private" and removed from the haplotree.
Distribution
Q-P89.1 has descendants in the
Northwest Territory
The Northwest Territory, also known as the Old Northwest and formally known as the Territory Northwest of the River Ohio, was formed from unorganized western territory of the United States after the American Revolutionary War. Established in 1 ...
of modern
Canada. It was in pre-Columbian American populations that it was discovered.
The Americas
Q-P89.1 is present in
pre-Columbian populations in the Canadian Northwest.
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.
