In 2003, a Y-DNA profile was identified that occurs in 8% of the male population in the heartland of the former Mongol Empire. In addition, various studies were conducted with individuals who trace their ancestry back to Genghis Khan. In some cases, different profiles were discovered, but they all point at least to the same haplogroup.
Genghis Khan belonged in the paternal line to the haplogroup C.
