This study; 1South Asian Haplogroups (HG) include M*, M2a, M2b, M3, M3a, M4a, M6, M6b, M10, M18, M25, R, R5, R6, R8, U2, U2abc, U3 and U4 ; 2East Asian HGs include A, B, F, M7, M8, M9 MG, MG and their subhaplogroups, N9a, W, X, Y, R9a and R10; 3West Asian HGs include U7, H, J1 and T; 4New M (sub)haplogroups are M33b, M48, M49 and M50, and M31c which are confined in the region of Northeast India and need to be typed in comparative populations for its status.
