“…Intra-regional differences were also detected in France (Dubut et al, 2004;Richard et al, 2007). Frequencies for haplogroups H, K, V, T2b and J* showed sharp differences in this area.…”

“…Frequencies for haplogroups H, K, V, T2b and J* showed sharp differences in this area. Most of these disparities may be explained by the outlying location of the French Basques, who are also quite different from the Spanish Basques (Supplementary Table S3) (Richard et al, 2007). Similarly, in the British Isles, Cornwall is by far the most discrepant sample; there are haplogroups such as K, T2b or V that showed the lowest frequencies in COR and the highest in Irish samples, whereas I and J* are more conspicuous in COR than in Ireland.…”

“…In contrast, U5b is rare among French Basques. This discrepancy and the prevalence of haplogroup J in the French Basques significantly differentiate them from the Spanish Basques (Richard et al, 2007).…”

It has been proposed that the distribution patterns and coalescence ages found in Europeans for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups V, H1 and H3 are the result of a post-glacial expansion from a Franco-Cantabrian refuge that recolonized central and northern areas. In contrast, in this refined mtDNA study of the Cantabrian Cornice that contributes 413 partial and 9 complete new mtDNA sequences, including a large Basque sample and a sample of Asturians, no experimental evidence was found to support the human refuge-expansion theory. In fact, all measures of gene diversity point to the Cantabrian Cornice in general and the Basques in particular, as less polymorphic for V, H1 and H3 than other southern regions in Iberia or in Central Europe. Genetic distances show the Cantabrian Cornice is a very heterogeneous region with significant local differences. The analysis of several minor subhaplogroups, based on complete sequences, also suggests different focal expansions over a local and peninsular range that did not affect continental Europe. Furthermore, all detected clinal trends show stronger longitudinal than latitudinal profiles. In Northern Iberia, it seems that the highest diversity values for some haplogroups with Mesolithic coalescence ages are centred on the Mediterranean side, including Catalonia and South-eastern France.

“…Slovak L2a1 haplotype characterized by transition at 16051 also seems to be very scarce. This control region sequence type has been recently detected in different parts of Eurasia only twice -in France 31 and in Eastern Iran. 32 Based on coding region variation data and comparison with MitoMap tree, this haplotype belongs to a specific subcluster defined by mutations at positions 3010 and 6663.…”
