Haplogroup G (mtDNA)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup G is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

It is an East Asian haplogroup^[1]. Today G is found at its highest frequency in northeastern Siberia.^[2] Haplogroup G is also found at lower frequency among some populations of northern East Asia and Central Asia. However, unlike other mitochondrial DNA haplogroups typical of populations of northeastern Asia, such as haplogroup A, haplogroup C, and haplogroup D, haplogroup G has not been found among indigenous peoples of the Americas.
