Haplogroup Q-Z780

Haplogroup Q-Z780 is a subclade of the Y-DNA Haplogroup Q-L54. Q-Z780 is defined by the presence of the Z780 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP).

Haplogroup Q-Z780
Possible place of origin	Eurasia
Ancestor	Q-L54
Descendants	Q-L191 and Q-L400
Defining mutations	Z780

Distribution

Q-Z780 has descendants across much of the pre-Columbian Americas. It is the second most common branch of Q-M242 in the Americas. The Anzick child who lived 12,600 years ago and was found in the state of Montana, has a Y-chromosome that was initially determined to Q-L54*(xM3)^[1] but is now assigned, along with modern Native American sample, to a subclade of Q-Z780, Q-FGC47532, or to Q1b-M971.^[2][3]

Associated SNPs

Q-Z780 is currently defined by the Z780 SNP.
