Haplogroup C-M48 also has been found occasionally in some ethnic groups outside its typical range in Siberia and Central Asia, such as Japanese (2/53 C-M86 Kyushu, 1/70 C-M86 Tokushima, 0/61 C-M86 Shizuoka, 0/45 C-M217 Okinawa, 0/26 C-M217 Aomori, 0/4 C-M86 Ainu[8]), Tibetans (4/479 C-M48 Xizang, 0/52 C-M48 Qinghai[6]), Bhutanese (1/21 C-M86/M77),[20]Ossetians (1/21 C-M48 South Ossetians),[21]Adyghe (1/154 C-M48),[21] and Russians (1/406 C-M77[5]), some of whom exhibit divergent Y-STR haplotypes.[6]
