HAZARA GENETICS-MONGOL LINKED Y-CHROMOSOMES



HAZARA GENETICS-MONGOL LINKED Y-CHROMOSOMES

Genetically, the Hazara are primarily a mixture of eastern Eurasian and western Eurasian peoples.

Genetic research suggests that they are related to neighboring peoples, while there also seems to be a distant relation to Turkic and Mongol peoples of Inner Asia,such as the Uyghurs of China.

A Mongol element in the ancestry is supported by studies in genetic genealogy as well, which have identified a particular lineage of the Y-chromosome characteristic of people of Mongolian descent ("the Y-chromosome of Genghis Khan"). This chromosome is virtually absent outside the limits of the Mongol Empire except among the Hazara, where it reaches its highest frequency anywhere. About two thirds of the Hazara males sampled carry a Y-chromosome of this lineage.
