New U2 clade found in Europe

New U2 subclade
U2(f): 16092C, 16179A, 152C

mHG U2 has weak presence in Europe (Frequency of 1-2%) European U2 is quite homogeneous, basically all of it is U2e. And U2d covers 99% of other U2 in Europe. So it is worth noting I just discovered a new type of U2 in Europe which is a cousin of U2e and U2d. 

This newly discovered U2 clade has been found in only two populations who live(ed) roughly in the Eastern half of Europe. Below are all the examples of this U2 clade I have found.

Year, Country, Culture
5200 BC, Hungary
5000 BC, Hungary
2013 AD, Bulgaria
2013 AD, Bulgaria

Haplogroup U2 breaks up into three branches.
U2-Kostinki: Only example exists; a man who died in Russia 38,000 years ago.
U2a'b: Basically exclusive to South Asia.
U2'c'd'e: U2c peaks in South Asia. U2d and U2e are found everywhere in Eurasia except Eastern Asia.

All three branches probably date more than 40,000 years. An early form of U2e is documented in Paleolithic Western Europe(~30kya). In addition U2e had a presence in Mesolithic Europe. U2(f) most likely belongs to U2'c'd'e. It could have been involved in early European or Western Eurasian human settlements like U2e and U2d.

    1. One of the Neolithic British individuals recently tested by Olalde et al. 2017 belongs to this rare form of U2. So now we do have a high coverage mtDNA sample for this haplogroup.

  2. Where can I get more information about U2d? All 23andme says is that it’s a rare group. Has anyone made a map of the regions it’s found in?

  3. I am 29 years old and have been diagnosed with breast cancer, ease of treatment and a similar story, except for my first acceptance as a rejection of herbal medicine. I was not part of the Perseid movement and did not really build relationships with any of them, I just believed in their operation. I say this because it was during the use of Dr. Itua herbal medicine that I now attest that herbal medicine is real, the phytotherapy Dr. Itua heal my breast cancer which I suffered for 2 years. Dr. Itua herbal medicine is made of natural herbs, with no side effects, and easy to drink.

  4. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
