Haplogroup CZ (mtDNA)

Haplogroup CZ
Ancestor	M8
Descendants	C, Z
Defining mutations	249d[1]

In human mitochondrial genetics, the Haplogroup CZ is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Origin

Haplogroup CZ is a descendant of haplogroup M and is a parent to the haplogroups C and Z. The C and Z subclades share a common ancestor dated to approximately 45,000 years ago.^[2]

Distribution

Today CZ is found in eastern Eurasian populations and is most common in Siberian populations. It is recognized by the genetic marker at 249d.

Tree

This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup CZ subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred Kayser Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation^[1] and subsequent published research.
