mtDNA and the origin of the Icelanders: deciphering signals of recent population history.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Mar 2000

Helgason A, Sigureth ardóttir S, Gulcher J R, Ward R, Stefánsson K

Abstract excerpt

Previous attempts to investigate the origin of the Icelanders have provided estimates of ancestry ranging from a 98% British Isles contribution to an 86% Scandinavian contribution. We generated mitochondrial sequence data for 401 Icelandic individuals and compared these data with >2,500 other European sequences from published sources, to determine the probable origins of women who contributed to Iceland's...
