Kyrgyzstan: haplogroups

FamilyTreeDNA has 95 kits with a Y-DNA result and 16 kits with mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA). On the paternal line the most common are R1a-Z2125 — 23%, C2 — 20% and J2 — 7%. For mt that is fewer than 50, so those shares below are a rough guide only.

Y-DNA · kits per 100,000 men
rank 84 of 123 among countries. About 3.5 million men (UN, 2023). A kit's country is the ancestor's homeland, not where the tester lives

FTDNA Discover holds about 68 more samples here that are not in the public tree, mostly from academic studies (estimate from the copy of 13 November 2026); this page is built from the public FTDNA tree.

Migration paths of the characteristic branches #

Paths of the region's main characteristic branches, as modelled by FamilyTreeDNA Discover, on one calendar clock: in each year a branch stands where its ancestral line was. Grey is a stretch of path shared by several branches; the large marker is the branch itself.

Kyrgyzstan: Y-DNA #

Distinctive branches

Branches found here far more often than worldwide: their share is more than 3× the world share. The multiplier is in brackets. Branches of at least 10 kits are included.

  • C-M216 C: 28 kits · 29.5% (95% confidence interval: 21–39%) (×46.1) 48k years
  • C-M217 C2: 19 kits · 20.0% (95% confidence interval: 13–29%) (×46.7) 34k years
  • R-Z2124 R1a-Z2124: 23 kits · 24.2% (95% confidence interval: 17–34%) (×34.3) 4,500 years
YFull

The same country on YFull #

The same country at the second company, YFull. Its samples are placed on the FTDNA tree by shared mutations, so the branches are comparable. FTDNA share on the left, YFull on the right, then the difference in percentage points. Republics and other sub-regions are taken out of the country, as at FTDNA. Starred branches are nearly empty at YFull: every test there is whole-genome and reaches the fine branches. Only YFull customers (YF number) are counted, no ancient DNA. YFull data of 2026-11-02.

Y-DNA

YFull has fewer than 30 samples from this country, too few to compare. 6 samples on YFull

mtDNA

YFull has fewer than 30 samples from this country, too few to compare. 1 sample on YFull

share of kits that reached the finest branch of the tree. The rest stopped at a broad branch: their test was not detailed enough.
55%
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.

New this month #

FTDNA: how much the kit count grew between the tree copies of 2026-10-09 and 2026-11-12. A kit that moved to a new sub-branch after refinement is not counted as new. YFull: samples YFull itself marks as new, in the copy of 2026-11-02; YFull drops the mark after a few weeks.
