Ancestor M8 Defining mutations 249d | Descendants C, Z | |
In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup CZ is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.
Contents
Origin
Haplogroup CZ is a descendant of haplogroup M and is a parent to haplogroups C and Z. Haplogroup CZ is divided into subclades C and Z, which share a common ancestor approximately 45,000 years ago.
Distribution
Today CZ is found in eastern Eurasian populations. It is most common in Siberian populations. It is recognized by the genetic marker at 249d.
Tree
This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup CZ subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation and subsequent published research.
