Haplogroup IJK

Haplogroup IJK
Possible time of origin	40,000-45,000 years BP
Possible place of origin	Southwest Asia
Ancestor	Haplogroup F
Descendants	IJ, K
Defining mutations	L15/S137, L16/S138, L69.1(=G)/S163.1

In human genetics, Haplogroup IJK is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. Haplogroup IJK is a descendant branch of the macrohaplogroup F with haplogroup IJ and haplogroup K as its attested descendants.

According to Family Tree DNA, the two SNPs defining this haplogroup unite I, J, and K within F as a "brother clade" to G and H. FTDNA further states that haplogroup IJK's relationship with haplogroup F1 through F4 is unknown.

Tree

This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup subclades is based on the YCC 2008 tree and subsequent published research.

• IJK
  • IJK (L15/S137, L16/S138, L69.1(=G)/S163.1)
    • IJ (M429/P125, P123, P124, P126, P127, P129, P130, S2, S22)
    • K (M9, P128, P131, P132)
