indicates that what it calls R1b1b2* is the most frequent variety of R1b1b2 in every region of France studied, except Alsace, where U152 was the most frequent subclade.
The SNP L21, which is apparently very common in France, was not part of the testing. That raises the question: How much of the "R1b1b2*" in that study is actually L21+? Most of it? Half of it?
I have written the corresponding author of the study, but thus far have received no reply. Perhaps if someone here who speaks and writes Spanish would write, that might help.

It seems L21 was discovered just a bit too late (October 2008) to have been included in this study, which tested for all the other major R1b1b2 subclades.
