SNP rs34134567

The SNP rs34134567 is one of 858 Y-chromosome SNPs included on the Illumina 1M “gene chip.” Testing of two people with this chip, one who was in Haplogroup G2a-P15, and the other who was in Haplogroup G2c-M377, revealed that they matched exactly on 857 of the 858 Y-SNPs. The single mismatch was on rs34134567.

This discovery led to the present study to determine where rs34134567 fits into the G2a phylogeny. This discovery also led the company, Ethnoancestry, to develop a commercial test for the SNP, which has been named S126.
