 DNA and the Book of Mormon. Does DNA disprove the Book of Mormon?
Recent discoveries regarding mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Haplogroup X in about 3% of Native Americans has challenged many (if not all) of the prevailing scientific beliefs regarding the genetic make-up of the earliest colonizers of the American continents.
Y Chromosome Haplogroups 4 and 1C and mtDNA Haplogroup X
Haplogroup 1C is common enough in the New World that it has been proposed as a major founder haplogroup for the New World.

 Ina Clan - mtDNA Haplogroup B
The haplogroups used to identify each "clan mother" are based upon the grouping of genetic sequences (known as "polymorphisms") into distinct families.
The first cluster comprises haplogroups X and A, with only a shared mutation between them and different geographic distributions (A is widespread in Asia, X is mainly restricted to Europe).
The second cluster groups minor haplogroups W, I, and N1b (each of which is present in low frequencies in Europe, the Near East, and the Caucasus).

 mtDNA Haplogroup Distribution Among Individual Nations - Skadi Forum
The presence of Haplogroup K shows a strong correlation with the presence of Haplogroup I, as it to is highest in The Western Isles/isle of Skye/NW Scottish (13.42%), and high among The Austrians/Swiss (9.09%), The Orkney Islanders (9.09%), The Irish (7.81%), and the Icelanders (7.72%).
Haplogroup J is a neolithic gene marker, showing the spread of agriculture through Northern and Central Europe with one branch; the other showing the Mediterranean influence in the Britsh Isles.
Haplogroup M includes C, D, E, G and Z. They may all be Mongoloid markers, but some may be ancient markers from before the Caucasoids and Mongoloids split, left over because they are somehow useful (cold resistance?).

 The Use of Mitochondrial DNA to Discover Pre-Columbian Migrations to the Caribbean by Juan C. Martinez Cruzado
All of the mtDNAs that belong to a haplogroup have the marker of the haplogroup.
The mutation that all the mtDNAs have in common is known as the marker of the haplogroup.
Wallace’s laboratory studied the complete mtDNA molecule for 120 Amerindians of haplogroup A in 21 tribes with 14 endonucleases of restriction.

 Re: What Eurasian and American Indian populations carry mtDNA haplogroup X?
Interestingly, distantly related haplogroup X mtDNAs have been found in Europe, but have not been detected in Asia.
Haplogroup B may have arrived independently and mixed with the populations carrying haplogroups A, C, and D. By contrast, the coalescence time of Na-Dene haplogroup A suggests that this population radiated into the Americans about 7 to 9,000 YBP.
Haplogroup A is present at relatively low frequencies throughout Siberia, but increases to 68% in the Chukchi of the Chokotka peninsula adjacent to Alaska.

 A phylogenetic network for the Finnish mtDNA haplogroup UK
Moreover, the rate of mtDNA loss in an expanding population may be as high as 72% within 150 years or in six to eight generations (Heyer 1995), which may explain the different haplogroup frequencies between populations.
1995) and this may partly explain the limited variation within haplogroup U. It has been shown that the frequency of a mtDNA genotype is higher when it has been introduced into the population earlier (Heyer 1995).
Moreover, the current frequencies of haplogroups in a population do not necessarily reflect the frequencies a few generations ago, as shown by the example of haplogroup V in the Basques.

 mtDNA haplogroup of L. David Roper
I am in mtDNA haplogroup I1a, as shown in
Note the genetic closeness of the I haplogroup to the X haplogroup, which is Asian and Native American (the late arrivals).
Haplogroup I is a subgroup of the Xenia haplogroup in Bryan Syke's book The Seven Daughters of Eve.

 High-resolution mtDNA evidence for the late-glacial resettlement of Europe from an Iberian refugium -- Pereira et al. 15 (1): 19 -- Genome Research
The molecular dissection of mtDNA haplogroup H confirms that the Franco-Cantabrian glacial refuge was a major source for the European gene pool.
894 haplogroup H mtDNAs is shown in Figure 1.
Frequency distributions of haplogroups H (A), H1 (B), H3 (C), and H less H1 and H3 (D) in Europe, the Caucasus and the Near East.

The study concludes that haplogroup R lineages in India are easily distinguishable from those of Western Eurasia.
This haplogroup branched from haplogroup N very early after the dispersion of humans out of East Africa.

 Berber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2001, argue that the H71 haplogroup and North African Y-chromosomal diversity indicate a Neolithic-era "demic diffusion of Afro-Asiatic-speaking pastoralists from the Middle East", while Nebel et al.
2004 note that the E-M81 haplogroup on the Y-chromosome correlates closely with Berber populations.

 MtDNA Test Results Log
Mary (Swift) Carey's haplogroup seems to indicate--if I am interpreting it correctly--that my maternal lineage originates in Scandanavia.If this is correct it is very much of a surprize as I expected to find a Celtic origin.
Comments: Ggrandmother, Mary Cox was born in Bell County Kentucky and belonged to from Haplogroup K. I was told that she was of Irish and Native American descent.
I suppose that since I share the same haplogroup with eurasians and southeast asians, I was initially surprised, because all of my ancestry can be traced to the British Isles with the exception of my oldest known maternal ancestor.
