I don't recall engaging to do anything with DYS716. I looked at
Ysearch just now and found only 195 entries with that marker
along with the FTDNA 12-marker panel. Indeed, there are a lot
of apparently phony entries for DYS716, and so the real total is
even smaller. I would need lots more data to estimate the
mutation rate.
