Gene pool of Altai Kazakhs by Y-chromosome haplogroups
https://doi.org/10.25557/2073-7998.2025.08.132-133
Abstract
The gene pool of Kazakhs of the Altai Mountains living in the Kosh-Agach district was studied. Altai Kazakhs are distinguished by the frequency of haplogroups C2a1a, O2a2b1a2a1a1b1b2a1 and J2a2a1a1a. They fully correspond to the data of these haplogroups in the Naimans. The obtained results of their gene pool confirm the process of their formation on the basis of migrants from the territory of eastern Kazakhstan and Western Mongolia.
Supporting agencies: The study was supported by the grant of the Russian Science Foundation No. 22-64-00060, https://rscf.ru/project/22-64-00060/
