Jat’s (Jatt’s, Jaat’s) Haplogroup L

Haplogroups and Geographic Origins The results of haplogroup analyses revealed that MRCAs of 302 Jats in our dataset belonged to nine different haplogroups—E, G, H, I, J, L, Q, R, and T—with nine different geographic origins. Haplogroup L (36.8%) This is the largest haplogroup in the Jat sample population. It is present in the Indian population at an overall frequency of about 7–15%. Genetic studies suggest that this may be one of the original haplogroups of the creators of Indus Valley Civilization. It has a frequency of about 28% in western Pakistan and Baluchistan, from where the agricultural creators of this civilization emerged. The origins of this haplogroup can be traced to the rugged and mountainous Pamir Knot region in Tajikistan. #Jatt #Jat #Jaat #Jutt #Jutes #Sikh #Haplogroup #genetics
