In our dataset, haplogroup R-M207 lineages were the most abundant in the Lingayat population (35.64%), while the Vokkaliga males (32.35%) were predominantly characterized by the L-M20 mutation. Within haplogroup R, the R1a1a1b2-Z93 subclade is detected at a higher frequency in the Lingayat paternal gene pool (19.8%) compared to the Vokkaligas (7.84%), while sub-haplogroup R2a-M124 is observed at relatively equivalent proportions in both populations (15.84% and 13.73%, respectively). Haplogroup L-M20, on the other hand, is largely represented by sub-haplogroup L1-M76, with the exception of four Vokkaliga males that belong to the paralogous L3*-M357 branch.
The second most frequent major clade observed in the two studied groups is haplogroup H-M69, an Indian-specific lineage that is particularly frequent among Dravidian-speaking groups (Sahoo et al., 2006). Therefore, it is not surprising that this haplogroup is comparably distributed in both the Lingayat (24.75%) and Vokkaliga (23.53%) populations, with the majority of the males in each collection exhibiting the H1a-M82 mutation (18.81% and 12.75%, respectively). It is interesting to note, however, that H2-Apt chromosomes, which are reported at low frequencies in Indo-European (9.52%) and Dravidian (5.0%) tribes (Sengupta et al., 2006), are restricted to the Vokkaliga population (7.84%).
The frequency of the paraphyletic haplogroup F*-M213 in the Vokkaliga paternal gene pool (13.73%) is comparable to levels reported for the Dravidian populations (13.89%) by Sengupta et al. (2006), although the proportion of F* chromosomes is lower in the Lingayat (4.95%). A reversal of this distribution pattern is observed for haplogroup J, with the Lingayat population (11.88%) exhibiting a much higher frequency of M304 derived lineages relative to Vokkaligas (3.92%). Within the J-M304 clade, the majority of males in both groups are represented by the J2b2*-M241 branch (3.96% and 2.94% in Lingayat and Vokkaliga, respectively), whereas the J2a*-M410 paragroup is observed exclusively in the Lingayat population (3.96%). The J2a3-M68 sublineage, however, is present, albeit at low frequencies (< 2%), in both south Indian collections.
Other informative haplogroups shared between the two Dravidian populations include C-M216 and G-M201. With the exceptions of an undifferentiated C*-M216 chromosome in Vokkaliga and one G1*-M285 derived individual in Lingayat, the C5a-P92 (2.97% and 1.96% in Lingayat and Vokkaliga, respectively) and G2a*-P15 (0.99% and 0.98% in Lingayat and Vokkaliga, respectively) sub-clades are similarly represented in both populations.
