Defining mutationsM323

Haplogroup Q-M323 is a subclade of Y-DNA Haplogroup Q-M346. Haplogroup Q-M323 is defined by the presence of the M323 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP).

Distribution

Q-M323 was discovered in the Yemeni Jewish population.[1] In the time since its discovery, it has not been detected in other populations. It could then be exclusive to this population.

Associated SNPs

Q-M323 is currently defined by the M323 SNP.
