Afghanistan: summary
FamilyTreeDNA holds for Afghanistan: 165 kits with a Y-DNA result and 26 kits with mtDNA. On the paternal line the most common are R1a-Z2124 — 12%, G-L156* — 10% and K-M526* — 8%. For mt that is fewer than 50, so those shares below are a rough guide only. YFull has 71 samples for Y from the same area, and its mix of major branches is almost the same. The largest gap is R1a-Z2124: 12% on FTDNA against 23% on YFull.
Detailed pages for each line are linked below the summaries.

Big Y
rough share of kits with a Big Y test, a full read of the Y chromosome. It is estimated from the branches where the region's kits sit, so it is an estimate, not a count.
