Summary: The kit custodian and I, together, can only contribute $250 toward the $425 necessary for the Big Y test in this case important to understanding R1a-M458. We need another $175.
Explanation:
Kit 205198 is from the Ural region of the Russian Federation. He has tested
M458+, CTS11962-, L260-
The R1a Project classifies him as
4. ..>Z282>PF6155>M458>PF7521*-A (Big Y needed)
based on haplotype similarity to kit 306772 of Poland, whose R1a-Backbone SNP Pack yielded a result of:
M458+, PF7521+, CTS11962-, L260-
Since #306772 was not tested for PF6188, it is possible that he, and then perhaps also #205198, belong to the elusive R1a-PF6188 clade found in Sardinia (https://yfull.com/tree/R-PF6188/).
We would very much like to use this case to help us understand the genesis and early survival/growth of R1a-M458. Together, the kit custodian and I can muster $250 towards the Big Y for #205198, so we need another $175. We would very much appreciate any financial help others could give--hopefully by the end of the month, since FTDNA does not guarantee discount/coupon pricing beyond that date. Contributions can be made through the R1a Project donation page (https://www.familytreedna.com/group-general-fund-contribution.aspx?g=R1a_and_subclades). Be sure to mention the purpose of the contribution in the Note box.
