Complete Mitochondrial DNA Diversity in Iranians

Abstract: Due to its pivotal geographical location and proximity to transcontinental migratory routes, Iran has played a key role in subsequent migrations, both prehistoric and historic, between Africa, Asia and Europe. To shed light on the genetic structure of the Iranian population as well as on the expansion patterns and population movements which affected this region, the complete mitochondrial genomes of 352 Iranians were obtained. All Iranian populations studied here exhibit similarly high diversity values compara… Show more

“…About half of the H2b haplogroups were found in highercaste Brahmins and Indian Muslims. Our whole-genome H2a1 and H2b sequence analyses suggest that these haplogroups possibly share common ancestry with Pakistani, Iraqi, Armenian, and Siberian populations (Achilli et al 2004;Hartmann et al 2009;Derenko et al 2013Derenko et al , 2014. We also observed four H3g sequences-two from south Indian (Tamil Nadu) and two from north Indian (Uttar Pradesh) populations.…”

“…H14a and H14c lineages were found in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Andhra Pradesh, whereas a single H14b2 haplotype was reported from Pakistan (GenBank KJ446337). H15 is a very rare subclade, distributed from Western Europe to the Middle East and from Central Asia to India (Derenko et al 2013). H15a1a1 haplotype was observed only in a Chaturvedi Brahmin population from north India (Uttar Pradesh), while H15a1b haplotype was found in a Parsi population from Maharashtra.…”
