Följande artikel i European Journal of Human Genetics är kanske av intresse och kan möjligen fungera som underlag till en vidare och mer specifik diskussion om haplogrupper i Sverige (mtDNA och Y-kromosom).
Y-chromosome diversity in Sweden - A long-time perspective av Andreas O Karlsson, Thomas Wallerström, Anders Götherström och Gunilla Holmlund.
Sammanfattning:
Sixteen Y-chromosomal binary markers and nine Y-chromosome short tandem repeats were analyzed in a total of 383 unrelated males from seven different Swedish regions, one Finnish region and a Swedish Saami population in order to address questions about the origin and genetic structure of the present day population in Sweden. Haplogroup I1a* was found to be the most common haplogroup in Sweden and accounted, together with haplogroups R1b3, R1a1 and N3, for over 80% of the male lineages. Within Sweden, a minor stratification was found in which the northern region Västerbotten differed significantly (P
