Mitochondrial DNA variation and the origin of the Europeans.

Human genetics - 1 Apr 1997

Comas D, Calafell F, Mateu E, Pérez-Lezaun A, Bosch E, Bertranpetit J

Abstract excerpt

Sequences from the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region were analyzed in nine European and West Asian populations. They showed low genetic heterogeneity when compared to world populations. However, a Caucasoid population tree displayed a robust east-west gradient. Within-population diversity (ascertained through various parameters) and mean pairwise differences declined from east to west, in a pattern...
