A recent examination of burial sites in Kazakhstan, believed to contain the remains of elite members of the Golden Horde, has yielded DNA samples that researchers believe may be linked to descendants of Genghis Khan. Initial estimates suggested that approximately every 200th man worldwide could be related to the famed khan. However, a new genomic study has indicated that this figure is likely a substantial overestimation.

The research is contributing to a more nuanced understanding of the genetic connections associated with Genghis Khan and his lineage.
