R-CTS4385 (Y-DNA)

R-CTS4385 Y DNA Haplogroup Project

R-CTS4385 is a Y DNA Haplogroup that formed 5500 ybp with TMRCA 4700 ybp. It spans Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and England. It is an extremely rare haplogroup comprising less than 1% of the population of these countries. It is associated with the corded ware” (pottery) culture along with domesticated horses, two wheeled chariots and the Indo-European language. It is closely related to but does not include Z283 (R1a1a1b1) and Z93 (R1a1a1b2). The group probably entered England after the age of the Romans.

The full path on the current Y Tree is:

R1a > R-M459 > R-M198/M512/M17 > R-M417 > R-CTS4385

Defining SNPs: Z2464/S2848 * Z2461/S2846 * Z2463/CTS4385/M9837/S2847.
