High frequencies of Y-chromosome haplogroup O2b-SRY465 lineages in Korea: a genetic perspective on the peopling of Korea

Table 5 10 Diversity of Y-chromosome short tandem repeats in haplogroup O2b* and O2b1 in Korean and Japanese populations

Diversity parameters^a	Haplogroup O2b*			Haplogroup O2b1
	Population (number of samples)			Population (number of samples)
	Korean (114)^b	Japanese (8)^b	Japanese (22)^c	Korean (45)^b	Japanese (37)^b	Japanese (66)^c
Haplotype diversity, mean ± SD	0.91 ± 0.02	0.96 ± 0.08	0.97 ± 0.02	0.91 ± 0.04	0.92 ± 0.03	0.91 ± 0.03
Number of pairwise differences, mean ± SD	2.82 ± 1.50	1.89 ± 1.20	2.91 ± 1.59	2.30 ± 1.29	2.06 ± 1.18	2.01 ± 1.15
Allele size variation ratio	0.24	0.12	0.30	0.25	0.15	0.17

^aIndices were generated from 10 Y-chromosome short tandem repeat markers (excluding DYS385a/b, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635 and GATA from the Yfiler system) to be consistent with Nonaka et al. (2007).
