Haplogroup R0 (mtDNA)

Haplogroup R0
Possible time of origin 23,600 to 54,900 YBP[1]
Possible place of origin Near East or South Asia
Ancestor R
Descendants HV, R0a
Defining mutations 73, 11719[2]

In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup R0 (formerly known as Haplogroup pre-HV[3]) is a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Origin

Haplogroup R0 derives from the macro-haplogroup R. It is an ancestral haplogroup to R0a and Haplogroup HV (and therefore to Haplogroup H and Haplogroup V).

Distribution

Haplogroup R0 occurs frequently in the Arabian Plate with its highest frequency in Socotri (Population 50,000 Yemen) 38% [4] and it is also found in a high frequency in the Kalash (Population 6,000 in Pakistan) with 23%[5] smaller frequency in North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Anatolia, Iranian Plateau & Dalmatia. Its greater variety in the Arabian Plate suggests R0a originated in and spread from there.
