Haplogroup Q-L54 (Y-DNA)

Haplogroup Q-L54
Possible place of origin	Eurasia
Ancestor	Q-L53
Descendants	Q-L330, Q-M3, Q-Z780
Defining mutations	L54

Haplogroup Q-L54 is a subclade of Y-DNA haplogroup Q-L53. Q1a3a-L54 is defined by the presence of the L54 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP).

Q-L54 has descendants across Western and Central Europe, the North and East of Asia, and the Americas. It includes two of the major pre-Columbian paternal lineages in the Americas: Q-M3 and Q-Z780. Its descendant lines also include the Central Asian Q-L330 lineage. The boy Anzick-1, who lived 12,600 years ago and was found in the state of Montana, has a Y-chromosome that refers to haplogroup Q-L54*(xM3).

Q-L54 is currently defined by the L54 SNP alone.
