E-M123* (E-Y31991) haplogroup

This blog serves only as a public spreadsheet (not a blog for posting different publications) for all known cases of the rare haplogroup E-M123* (a.k.a. E-PF4428 or E-Y31991) made for reference for people online. If you are confirmed as part of this haplogroup, please make sure to join the E-M35 project at FamilyTreeDna.com

E-M123* is spread among Europeans and Middle Easterners. The homeland of this haplogroup is in the Middle East in the Neolithic period. It is hard to establish a time frame when it migrated towards Europe at this point. The frequency everywhere is around 0.5% of the population or even less. 

E-M123* is present on Yfull.com as E-Y31991 - https://www.yfull.com/tree/E-Y31991/

Here is a list of all known cases. However, there are another 98 cases in the FamilyTreeDna database that lack any information and they are not included here. All personal names are removed. The list will be updated.



Here are the updated tables with the Turkish and Syrian Turkmen samples integrated into the Modern Middle Eastern & North African Samples section.

For any people who belong to E-M123*, here are some useful links and suggestions:

- Please join the E-M35 project at FamilyTreeDna.com - this is a group where we can use as a reference.

- If you have a big-Y or other full sequence test, you can also join Yfull and upload your data there. This is our branch there - E-Y31991 YTree (yfull.com)

- TheYtree website - it is free for uploading - https://www.theytree.com/tree/E-FT20896

- Please leave any comment if you are confirmed as E-M123* so we can add you to the list. Ideally, only the confirmed haplogroup and country will be useful, although if someone wishes to add a city or a county/province, that would be appreciated. 

- Forum threads about our haplogroup exist at:
