| Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroup H, popularly known as, "Clan Helena,"
is the most common mtDNA haplogroup in Europe. Overall, it's frequency
is about 30-40%, but the frequency ranges from about 20% in eastern Europe
to about 45% in northwestern Europe to as high as 65% in Iberia (Spain
and Portugal). In the trivia department, Marie Antoinette and Queen
Victoria, among many other European nobility, were Haplogroup H. |
| Because of its high frequency, the H haplogroup has many subclades.
These subclades are largely determined by mutations in the CR (the Coding
Region) of your mtDNA, not in the two hypervariable regions (HVR1+HVR2),
so merely testing the hypervariable regions will not tell you your Haplogroup
H subclade.
At one time, FTDNA offered an "H-Refine" test to determine that subclade.
However, so many new mutations have been found, and continue to be found,
that it makes much more sense to simply test your FGS (Full Genetic Sequence)
and be done with it. Once you've tested your FGS, there's no more
test to take, even if new mutations are found. The former existence
of the H-Refine test is the reason you see some people below with designated
subclades, even thought they have not tested their FGS. From now
on, only those who test their FGS will know their subclade.
The fact that new mutations continue to be found does mean that those
who have tested their FGS will see their haplogroup change over time, becoming
more refined as more branches on the haplotree are defined. I will
do my best to keep this table up to date, but FTDNA does not notify me
of these changes to your subclade. Your member page at FTDNA is the
last word on your current subclade, so if you see a difference not reflected
here, please alert me, and I'll update your entry. |
So far, we have 16 Danish Demes project members who are Haplogroup
H (15 tested at FTDNA plus one tested elsewhere).
