Abstract

Forty-two Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphism (Y-SNP) loci were investigated in 142 unrelated Japanese males by liquid bead array technology, which is a detection method using microspheres and a flow cytometer. Six haplogroups were found in this study. About two-thirds of Japanese were classified into ‘Haplogroup O,’ which is widely distributed over East Eurasia, and one-third were ‘Haplogroup D,’ which is different from the haplogroup distribution for other East Asian races.
