In their full autosomal genome, the Lebbo' harbor both
Austronesian-related and
Mainland Southeast Asian (=
Austroasiatic-related) ancestries, like most ethnic groups in the western part of
Insular Southeast Asia. Additionally (and – as of now – uniquely among peoples sampled from Borneo and other parts of western Insular Southeast Asia), they have a significant ancestral compontent related to
Papuans. In a small sample of Lebbo' males (15 individuals) the following
Y-DNA haplogroups were found:
C* (M130) 13.33%,
K* (M9) 6.67%,
K2 (M526) 13.33%,
O1b1a1a1a1a (M88) 33.33%,
O1a2 (M50) 26.67%, and
O2a1b~ (M164) 6.67%. A previous study found a small percentage of Lebbo' males (two individuals) to be the only known members of the rare
C1b1a2a, also known as C-B67. (The less rare sibling clade C1b1a2b/C-F725 has been found in members of the
Murut people in
Brunei,
Malay people in
Singapore,
Aeta people in the
Philippines, and
Han Chinese in China.) The most common
Mitochondrial DNA haplogroups found amongst a small sample of 19 Lebbo' individuals were:
B4a 21.05%,
B5a 15.79%,
M20 15.79%,
M71a2 15.79%,
R9b1a1a 10.53% and
E1a 21.05% out of a sample size of 19 Lebbo' people. ==Footnotes==
