Haplogroup JT is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Origin

[edit]

Haplogroup JT is descended from the macro-haplogroup R. It is the ancestral clade to the mitochondrial haplogroups J and T.

Distribution

[edit]

JT (predominantly J) was found among the ancient Etruscans.[2] The root level haplogroup JT* has been assigned to an ancient person found at the Colfiorito necropolis in Umbria in central Italy.[3]

The haplogroup has also been found among Iberomaurusian specimens dating from the Epipaleolithic at the Taforalt prehistoric site.[4] One ancient individual carried a haplotype, which correlates with either the JT clade or the haplogroup H subclade H14b1 (1/9; 11%).[5]

Subclades

Tree

[edit]

This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup JT 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.

Health

[edit]

Maternally inherited ancient mtDNA variants have clear impact on the presentation of disease in a modern society. Superhaplogroup JT is an example of reduced risk of Parkinson's disease[6] And mitochondrial and mtDNa alterations continue to be promising disease biomarkers.[7][8]
