Two sections are highly polymorphic (i.e. mutations occur more frequently) and known as hypervariable region (HVR). HVR1 locations are numbered 16001-16568. HVR2 locations are numbered 001-574. These are the ones tested by commercial companies for genealogical purposes. These are non-coding regions, which means that mutations have no known medical consequence. There are, however, diseases associated with mtDNA mutations. Mutations are compared to the Cambridge Reference Sequence representing haplogroup H2. Mutations indicated in red are those going up the tree from H2 to the origins (H2 > H > HV > pre-HV > R > N > L3 > mitochondrial Eve), and are therefore not actual mutations starting from the mitochondrial Eve. Note that mutations marked by an * do not always occur in this haplogroup or subclade. These are typically HVR mutations.
