Chinese emperors of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) and Aisin Gioro imperial family belong to Y-DNA haplogroup C3b2b1*-M401(xF5483), also called the mongol haplogroup of Gengis Khan, according to a new study.
7 men belonging to the imperial house of Aisin Gioro were tested.

It was also the hypothesis of a 2005 study.

However at the time they were unable to test an actual member of the Qing nobility.

Qing dynasty is the last dynasty of chinese emperors and it was founded by manchu.
