Haplogroup I2b testing

Haplogroup I2b(*) appears to have originated near modern day Germany, where it reaches it peak frequency. I2b is found spread across a broad area of NW Europe including the British Isles, where it has been brought by numerous historical migrations.

This product will be of interest to those who have strong evidence from previous DNA testing (from Y-SNP or Y-STR markers) that they belong to haplogroup I2b.

*I2b was formally known as I1b2

EthnoAncestry offers two testing options for haplogroup I2b:

I2b Subgroup Test

This I2b product tests S23, the marker developed at EthnoAncestry which defines the I2b group and all known downstream markers. Testing also covers:

M284 (defining haplogroup I2b1a) is a marker for the indigenous population of the British Isles, including the Picts in modern day Scotland.
S165 - a recently discovered marker that defines a subgroup of M284, identifying an ancient lineage originating from what is not Scotland. Further back in time, this lineage originated in Iberia, probably following the Atlantic littoral as it moved North towards Britain.
P78 (defining haplogroup I2b1c) marks a small group of Eastern European origin.
M379 (defining haplogroup I2b1b) has been observed in Pakistan.
S154 - recently discovered to define the new subgroup I2b2.

The full list of Y-SNPs tested in the I2b subgroup test is as follows:

S23, M223, M284, S165, M379, P78, P95 & S154.

You will receive an official certificate depicting the results of your testing.
