- Haplogroup E (mtDNA)
In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup E is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup which can be used to define genetic populations. It is a subgroup of M.
Haplogroup E has a southern Asia distribution. Until now it has been detected in the
Malay peninsula populations and in theSabah ofBorneo ; and it is also present in coastalPapua New Guinea as well as inTaiwan , in thePhilippines , and in some Pacific islands such asGuam . "E" detected in a fewColombia n indigenous populations, carries all the substitutions characteristic of haplogropup C and was identified as a back mutation. This revertant C lineage is further characterized by three changes in HVS-II sequence.References
