Haplogroup LT or L298/P326, also known as K1 (and previously as Haplogroup K2), is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. Its defining SNP mutations are L298 and P326.
No confirmed cases of the basal paragroup LT* have been identified among living males or human remains.
It is generally believed that LT (L298/P326) originated somewhere in South or West Asia.
LT is a direct descendant of Haplogroup K (M9).
The direct descendants of LT are Haplogroup L (M20), also known as K1a and Haplogroup T (M184), also known as K1b.
Y-DNA haplogroup LT is an old lineage widely distributed at low concentrations. It was established approximately 30,000-40,000 years ago, probably in South Asia or West Asia.
Its descendants are found mainly in populations indigenous to Northeast Africa, South Asia, West Asia and Europe.
L-M20 is found at its highest frequency in India, Pakistan and among the Balochs of Afghanistan.
T-M184 is most common in the Horn of Africa(especially Djibouti, Ethiopia and Somaliland), Arabia, Iran as well as in some regions of Eastern India and Europe .
