In human genetics, Haplogroup W is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.
Origin
Ancestor of the haplogroup W is Haplogroup N2.
Distribution
Haplogroup W appears in Europe, West and South Asia.[3] It is everywhere found as minority clade, with the highest concentration being in Northern Pakistan.[4] Clade W* is found in 8.3% of the Svan population of the Caucasus (Georgia).[citation needed]
Subclades
Tree
This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup W subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation[2] and subsequent published research.
