Mitochondrial DNA variation in Mauritania and Mali and their genetic relationship to other Western Africa populations.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Sept 2006

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation was analyzed in Mauritania and Mali, and compared to other West African samples covering the considerable geographic, ethnic and linguistic diversity of this region. The Mauritanian mtDNA profile shows that 55% of their lineages have a west Eurasian provenance, with the U6 cluster (17%) being the best represented. Only 6% of the sub-Saharan sequences belong to the L3A...
