Distribution
Q-L54 has descendants across Western and Central Europe, the North and East of Asia, and the Americas. It includes two of the major pre-Columbian paternal lineages in the Americas: Q-M3 and Q-Z780. Its descendant lines also include the Central Asian Q-L330 lineage. The boy Anzick-1, which is 12,6 thousand years ago on the territory of Montana, Y-chromosome refers to haplogroup Q-L54*(xM3).
Associated SNP's
Q-L54 is currently defined by the L54 SNP alone.
