G1 is possibly believed to have originated in Iran. It has an extremely low frequency in modern populations, except (i) Iran and its western neighbors, and (ii) a region straddling south Central Siberia (Russia) and northern Kazakhstan. The most basal examples of G1 identified in living individuals, which belong to the G-L830 subclade, have been found across an area from the Arabian Peninsula (Northern Borders Region of Saudi Arabia, Ad-Dawhah of Qatar) to Ashkenazi Jews of Belarus (Minsk Region) and China (Anhui).[1][2]
