title: Y-chromosome DNA haplotype XI in Eastern Europe.
abstract: Haplotype XI frequencies at the Y-chromosome-specific DNA polymorphism (p49-TaqI) were reported in 639 males originating from 13 different geographic locations in Eastern Europe, where haplotype XI represents the major haplotype. The highest frequencies were obtained from Ukraine (44%), Russia (43.9%), and Hungary (40.7%). Percentages of haplotype XI geographic distribution show a gradient of decreasing frequency from these areas of higher percentages toward southeastern and more western countries in Europe.
