Haplogroup C-L1370 of the Y-chromosome dna or «steppe branch» of haplogroup C-M86, its sub-branches in phylogenetic tree and variety of haplotypes in kazakh and other ethnic populations

As part of the applied material for the study of historical migration and their relationship with historical events in the territory of central Eurasia, the authors investigated the haplogroup C-L1370 of Y-chromosome DNA. Where through kinship in the direct paternal (male) genetic line, on the basis of this study and early scientific works, the locations of the carriers of its subclades were determined. In this paper, the authors identified the main 6 modal haplotypes, which were investigated by deep sequencing, which allowed us to identify three main genetic branches. Considering the age of subclades and the location of its carriers, the authors put forward a supposed connection with historical migrations that influenced the prevalence of the studied haplogroup.
