Russia (Republic of Chechnya) mtDNA

FamilyTreeDNA holds for Russia (Republic of Chechnya): 457 kits with mtDNA. On the maternal line the most common are U5a — 10%, K1a — 7% and I2 — 6%. YFull has 284 samples for mt from the same area, and its mix of major branches is almost the same. The largest gap is H: 5% on FTDNA against 0% on YFull.

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 2026-09-29.

Most similar countries #

Countries whose mix of major branches looks most like this one. The number is similarity: 100% is the same mix, lower means less in common. Computed only for countries with 100+ kits.

Of the five most similar countries by the paternal and by the maternal line, 1 coincide. The male and female lines have different histories here, or a diaspora is showing.
