Description
C2b-MF653129 is a subclade of C2b-CTS4660 within the Tungusic-Siberian C2b1b branch, sister to C2b-MF630546. The MF653129 marker is a GenBank-registered Y-chromosome variant. This lineage shows an affinity with populations of the Amur River basin region, including Nanai and Ulchi groups, and represents a distinct eastern subdivision of the CTS4660 branch.
Interesting Fact
The parallel structure of MF630546 and MF653129 under CTS4660 suggests that within the Tungusic C2b1b branch, two distinct population groups diverged during the Neolithic — one associated more with the Baikal interior, the other with the Amur River valley populations of the Russian Far East.
