Haplogroup G is found at modest percentages amongst Jewish men within multiple subgroups of haplogroup G (Y-DNA), with the majority falling within the G2b and G2c category. Haplogroups that are more commonly found amongst Jews are Haplogroups T, E and J.[1] Jewish ethnic divisions, ranging from about a fifth of Moroccan Jews to almost none reported among the Indian, Yemenite and Iranian communities.[2]
