[9] C2b1a1b1-F1756: In 2019, a Chinese research team study suggested that Haplogroup C2b1a1b1-F1756 [10] might be a candidate of the true Y lineage of Genghis Khan.
Numerous studies by teams of biochemists led by M. V. Derenko (2007), based on the Y-DNA of people who claim to be modern descendants of Genghis Khan, have indicated that Genghis Khan may have belonged to a subclade of Haplogroup C-M217 (C2) such as C-F4002 (C2b1a3).

The Chingisid principle, [15] or golden lineage, was the rule of inheritance laid down in the , the legal code attributed to Genghis Khan.

Chagatai Khan (Mongolian: ᠴᠠᠭᠠᠲᠠᠶ; [a] c. 1184 – 1242) was a son of Genghis Khan and a prominent figure in the early Mongol Empire. The second son of Genghis's wife Börte , Chagatai was renowned for his masterful knowledge of Mongol custom and law , which he scrupulously obeyed, and his harsh temperament.
Chagatai on the other hand held no such qualms. When Genghis heard about this infighting, he ordered that Ögedei be promoted to command his brothers.
