The Z2122 SNP test is now available for order. According to this proposed phylogeny, it may embrace some or all of European L342.2+ , including the Ashkenazi Levite clade.

Kit 114167, in the Ashkenazi Levite clade, has tested Z2122+ .
We have a few guys who are outside but closest to the Ashkenazi cluster testing this. It should be interesting to see how L342 will split between L657 on the one hand and between Z2122/Z2123 on the other.
Kit N30333 of Ukraine has tested Z2122+ . He does not belong to the Ashkenazi Levite cluster.

Kit 84103 of Poland has tested Z2122+ . He does not belong to the Ashkenazi Levite cluster.

Perhaps there was something to the Sarmatist movement in the Polish nobility after all!Originally Posted by Mamluk

I did notice that!!
I'm very anxious to see who will test positive for Z2122 (and where their ancestors are from), and the downstream SNPs too.
(moved from a different thread about Assyrian Y-DNA)
I am not familiar with R1b-2105. Why link R1b-2105 with R1a-Z2122?
----------------------
I will point out that so far R1a-Z2122 has not been found in Pakistan, and it it has not been found in the trans-Caucasus. There is a Karachay Russian that will be tested for Z2122, and if he is positive for Z2122, keep in mind that you have the Caucasus mountain range--a major geographic barrier--separating Karachays and Circassians from Armenians and Kurds.
Karachays and Circassians, as we know them in the modern context, have had more interaction with each other and their steppe neighbors, than with people south of the Caucasus.
As a general rule, geographic proximity on a map is not as important as real topography when discussing human migrations.
