Haplogroup R (Y-DNA) descends from Haplogroup P (Y-DNA).
Haplogroup R (Y-DNA) represents one of the twenty major branches of the Y chromosome as defined by the Y Chromosome Consortium (YCC2008).
Haplogroup R (Y-DNA) represents one of two major European Y chromosome haplogroups (the other major haplogroup is Haplogroup I (Y-DNA)). The majority of European Y chromosomes belong to Haplogroup R (Y-DNA). [PMID 18385274]
Haplogroup R (Y-DNA) is now defined by eight mutations:
- M207 = rs2032658(G)
- M306 = rs1558843(A)
- P224 = rs17307398(T)
- P227 = rs4481791(C)
- P232 = rs9786261(A)
- P280 = rs891407(G)
- P285 = rs17249974(A)
and is tested for by gs213
