http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogr...(Y-DNA)#Europe
Originary of Arab countries (probably Yemen, 70% of J1), it's a particular Haplogroup common also in Daghestan (Muslim Caucasus), Pakistan and in all the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, southern Turkey, north Africa and Sudan.
In Europe is almost nonexistent, but higher frequencies has been reported in the central Adriatic regions of Italy Gargano Apulia(17.2%) and Pescara Abruzzo(15%)http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27309. Those percentages are strikingly high, you must know that in Turkey is lower.
It would be very interesting to discover how that area of Italy has the highest percentage of that haplogroup, even in Sicily which was in the past an arab land, the percentage of J1 is only the 10,7%
