Phylogenetic tree of complete (continuous branches) or nearly complete (discontinuous branches) haplogroup H mtDNA sequences. Numbers along links refer to nucleotide transitions. "A" and "T" indicate transversions; "d" deletions and "i" insertions. Recurrent mutations are underlined. The empty box represents a node from which other (not shown) sequences branch. Sequence references are: CRS [64, 65]; How 73H, How 78H and How51H [66]; Bra H5 [49]; Her 127 ([10], EF657262); Ach 28 and Ach 39 ([37], AY738967 and AY738978); Mis E6H [62], AY195757); MM H2 and MM H1 ([9], AF382002 and AF381993); Fra 27 and Fra 48 ([67], DQ523627 and GQ523648); Fin 413 ([36], AY339413); Jor 843, Mau 2027, Sah 7045, Sev 1179, Geo 2459, Mor 2047 (present study). Geographic origins are: How 73H, How 78H and How51H: Dutch, Jor 843: Jordan, Bra H5 and Her 127: Europeans, Ach 28 and Ach 39: Italians, Mis E6H: Israeli, Mau 2027 and MM H1: Mauritanians, MM H2 and Sev 1179: Spaniards, Sah 7045: West Saharan, Geo 2459: Georgian, Fra27 and Fra 48: Sardinians, Mor 2047: Moroccan, Fin 413: Finlander.
