Y-DNA haplogroups in populations of Central and North Asia

Research into the predominant human Y-DNA haplogroups of Central Asia and North Asia , broken down according to both individual publications and ethnolinguistic groups, are summarized in the table below.

The first two columns of the table list ethnicity and linguistic affiliations, the third column cites the total sample size in each study, and the adjoining columns give the percentage of each haplogroup or subclade found sample in a particular sample.
