Haplogroup V (mtDNA)

Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Haplogroup V is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup. The clade is believed to have originated over 14,000 years ago in Southwestern Europe.[3][4]

Origin

Haplogroup V derives from the HV0a subclade of haplogroup HV. In 1998 it was argued that V spread over Europe from an Ice Age refuge in Iberia.[3] However more recent estimates of the date of V would place it in the Neolithic.[1]

Distribution

Haplogroup V is a relatively rare mtDNA haplogroup, occurring in around 4% of native Europeans.[5] Its highest concentration is among the Saami people of northern Fennoscandia (~59%). It has been found at a frequency of approximately 10% among the Maris of the Volga-Ural region, leading to the suggestion that this region might be the source of the V among the Saami.[6][7] Haplogroup V has been observed at higher than average levels among Cantabrian people (15%) of northern Iberia,[8] and among the adjacent Basque (10.4%).[9]

Haplogroup V is also found in parts of Northwest Africa. It is mainly concentrated among the Tuareg inhabiting the Gorom-Gorom area in Burkina Faso (21%),[10] Sahrawi in the Western Sahara (17.9%),[11] and Berbers of Matmata, Tunisia (16.3%).[12] The rare V7a subclade occurs among Algerians in Oran (1.08%) and Reguibate Sahrawi (1.85%).[13]

Ancient DNA

MtDNA haplogroup V has been reported in Neolithic remains of the Linear Pottery culture at Halberstadt, Germany c. 5000 BC[14] and Derenburg Meerenstieg, Germany c. 4910 BC.[15] Haplogroup V7 was found in representative Maykop culture samples in the excavations conducted by Alexei Rezepkin.[16] Haplogroup V has been detected in representatives Trypil'ska and Unetice culture.[17][18]

Haplogroup V has also been found among Iberomaurusian specimens dating from the Epipaleolithic at the Taforalt prehistoric site 14,000 years BP.[19]

Haplogroup V has also been found among Somogyvár-Vinkovci culture specimens from western Hungary dating to the Bronze Age.[20] There are also examples of rare V36 (considered Scandic, perhaps Saami related) in neighbouring Serbia and Croatia.[21]
