Distribution of European mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups by region in percentage

Human mitochondrial DNA can be divided in genealogical groups sharing a common ancestor. These are called haplogroups. In Europe, mtDNA haplogroups cannot be easily associated with ancient ethnicities. However, they can sometimes reveal some potential medical conditions (see diseases associated with mtDNA mutations). Here is a list of defining mutations for European mtDNA haplogroups. Check this page to know more about the mtDNA testing process and how to trace your ancestry.

Note that figures are only indicative. Several sources were used and averages recalculated by merging the data available. Being approximations, numbers were rounded up to 0.5%. Frequencies inferior to 0.25% are indicated as 0%.
