RM417 was renamed from r1a1. I was just wondering how common this is among Ashkenazi Jews. It seems to favor East European , perhaps?

It isn't that common among them and the clades among them aren't of Jewish origin, the most common clade among them is R1a-Y2619. R1a-M417 was spread by IE peoples and was assimilated by other groups such as the Turkics, Jews etc

Ashkenazim ARE Turkish-Mongolian at the core, however.
