Kazakhs are genetically approximately 60% East Eurasian and 40% West Eurasian. A full study of the genetic makeup of the Kazakh population is far from being finished. According to mitochondrial DNA studies<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=9184531|title=Полиморфизм митохондриальной ДНК в казахской популяции|publisher=}}</ref> (where sample consisted of only 246 individuals), the main maternal lineages of Kazakhs are: [[Haplogroup D (mtDNA)|D]] (17.9%), [[Haplogroup C (mtDNA)|C]] (16%), [[Haplogroup G (mtDNA)|G]] (16%), [[Haplogroup A (mtDNA)|A]] (3,25%), [[Haplogroup F (mtDNA)|F]] (2.44%), which is of Eastern Eurasian origin (58%), and haplogroups [[Haplogroup H (mtDNA)|H]] (14.1), [[Haplogroup T (mtDNA)|T]] (5.5), [[Haplogroup J (mtDNA)|J]] (3.6%), [[Haplogroup K (mtDNA)|K]] (2.6%), [[Haplogroup U (mtDNA)|U5]] (3%), and others (12.2%) of western Eurasian origin (41%). An analysis of ancient Kazakhs found that East Asian haplogroups such as A and C did not begin to move into the Kazakh steppe region till around the time of the [[Xiongnu]] (1st millennia BCE), which is around the onset of the Sargat Culture as well {{harv|Lalueza-Fox|2004}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://digitalcommons.wayne.edu/humbiol/vol82/iss2/2/|title="aDNA from the Sargat Culture" by Casey C.

In a sample of 54 Kazakhs and 119 Altaian Kazakh. The main paternal lineages of Kazakhs are: [[Haplogroup C-M217|C]] (66.7% and 59.5%), [[Haplogroup O-M175|O]] (9% and 26%), [[Haplogroup N-M231|N]] (2% and 0%), [[Haplogroup J-P209|J]] (4% and 0% ), [[Haplogroup R-M420|R]] ( 9% and 1% ).<ref name=Zerjal2002>{{cite journal |vauthors=Zerjal T, Wells RS, Yuldasheva N, Ruzibakiev R, Tyler-Smith C |title=A genetic landscape reshaped by recent events: Y-chromosomal insights into central Asia |journal=Am.
