Geographic distribution
Haplogroup H is the most common and most diverse maternal lineage in
Europe, in most of the Near East and in the Caucasus region. The Saami
of Lapland are the only ethnic group in Europe who have low percentages
of haplogroup H, varying from 0% to 7%. The frequency of haplogroup H in
Europe usually ranges between 40% and 50%. The lowest frequencies are
observed in Cyprus (31%), Finland (36%), Iceland (38%) as well as
Belarus, Ukraine, Romania and Hungary (all 39%). The only region where H
exceeds 50% of the population are Asturias (54%) and Galicia (58%) in
northern Spain, and Wales (60%). 
Haplogroup H possesses approximately 90 basal subclades identified to
date, most of which further subdivided in other subclades. The most
common subclades are H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H10, H11, H13, H14 and
H20. The Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS), the human mitochondrial
sequence to which all other sequences are compared, belongs to
haplogroup H2a2a.
