Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype/1/en
From ISOGG Wiki
In human genetics, the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype (WAMH) is the most frequently occurring 12-marker Y chromosome haplotype associated with haplogroup R1b1a2, the most common haplogroup in Europe. The term was invented by Family Tree DNA to differentiate the newly found 12-marker signature from the six-marker haplotype known as the Atlantic Modal Haplotype.[1] FTDNA customers who have a WAMH match will have a coloured badge (see right) on their personal page. The WAMH badge is triggered when the customer has an exact match with one of four 12-marker R1b1a2 haplotypes:[2]
