Paragroup R2a1*

Paragroup is a term used in population genetics to describe lineages within a haplogroup that are not defined by any additional unique markers. They are typically represented by an asterisk (*) placed after the main haplogroup.

Y-chromosomes which are positive to the L295 SNP and negative to the L294 SNP, are categorized as belonging to Paragroup R2a1*. So far, it is found in Italy, India, and within the Simpson family.[3]

Haplogroup R2a1a

It is represented by the L294 SNP and found in Armenia and Turkey so far.[3]
