In human genetics, Haplogroup IJ is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. Haplogroup IJ is a descendant branch of Haplogroup IJK which in turn derives from the greater Haplogroup F. Descendants are Haplogroup I and Haplogroup J. Haplogroup IJ derived populations account for a significant fraction of the present-day populations of Europe, Western Eurasia, North Africa, the Americas, and Australia.

Origin

It is notable that no example of a Haplogroup IJ* Y-chromosome has been found among any modern human population; the existence of the Haplogroup IJ node has been inferred from the fact that certain mutations are shared in common among all Y-chromosomes belonging to the descendant haplogroups I and J. The lack of any examples of Haplogroup IJ* belonging to neither Haplogroup I nor Haplogroup J complicates any attempt to deduce the geographical location where Haplogroup IJ first appeared; however, the fact that both Haplogroup I and Haplogroup J are found among modern populations of the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Southwest Asia tends to support the hypothesis that Haplogroup IJ derived from Haplogroup IJK in the vicinity of West Asia or the Middle East and subsequently spread throughout Western Eurasia.

The TMRCA (time to most recent common ancestor) for the IJ clade, expressed in ky (confidence interval), is 38.5 (30.5-46.2).

Haplogroup J Distribution

‎

• IJ (M429, P123, P124, P125, P126, P127, P129, P130, S2, S22) per ISOGG 2008
  • I (M170, P19, M258, P38, P212, U179) Haplogroup I notation updated to ISOGG 2008
    • I*

      • I1*
      • I1a (M21) (formerly I1a2)
      • I1b (M227) (formerly I1a1) Appears to be limited to a marginally low frequency of approximately 1% among Slavic and Uralic peoples of Eastern Europe; also detected in a single Lebanese man

        • I2a*
        • I2a1 (M423)
          • I2a1*

        • I2a2 (M26) (formerly I1b1b) Typical of the population of the so-called "archaic zone" of Sardinia; also found at low frequencies among populations of Southwest Europe, particularly in Castile, Béarn, and the Basque Country
          • I2a2*
          • I2a2a (M161) (formerly I1b1b1)
      • I2b (M436/P214/S33, P216/S30, P217/S23, P218/S32) (formerly I1b2)

          • I2b1*
          • I2b1a (M284) (formerly I1b2a1) Generally limited to a low frequency in Great Britain
          • I2b1b (M379) (formerly I1b2a2)
          • I2b1c (P78) (formerly I1b2a3)

          • J2b1 (M102) Mainly found in the Balkans, Greece, and Italy (possibly from Ancient Greeks)
