Haplogroup pre-HV (mtDNA)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In human genetics, Haplogroup pre-HV is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Haplogroup pre-HV occurs frequently in the Middle East (especially in Arabia) and in East Africa. Its greater variety in the Middle East suggests it originated there and spread back to Africa later.

Haplogroup pre-HV derives from the macro-haplogroup R. It is also an ancestral haplogroup to Haplogroup HV (and therefore to Haplogroup H and Haplogroup V).
