Haplogroup G-M377 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup defined by the presence of the M377 mutation.[2] It is a subclade of Haplogroup G2b-M3115, which in turn is defined by the M3115 mutation.[3]

Haplogroup G-M377 has been observed among Pashtuns, an Iranic ethnic group, and at lower frequencies among all major Jewish groups, including Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi Jews, as well as among Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians.[4][5]
