Denmark mtDNA
FamilyTreeDNA holds for Denmark: 1,118 kits with mtDNA. On the maternal line the most common are J1c — 6%, H1c — 6% and T2b — 6%. YFull has 65 samples for mt from the same area, and its mix of major branches is noticeably different. The largest gap is T2b: 6% on FTDNA against 12% on YFull.
Macro-haplogroups #
The opening letters of the mtDNA haplogroup (H, U, HV), the broadest division of the mt tree. Percentages of all the region's kits.
Branches #
mt-tree branches shortened to three parts: letters, a number and one letter, such as U5a, H13a, J2b.
The same country on YFull #
The same country at the second company, YFull. Its samples are placed on the FTDNA tree by shared mutations, so the branches are comparable. FTDNA share on the left, YFull on the right, then the difference in percentage points. Republics and other sub-regions are taken out of the country, as at FTDNA. Starred branches are nearly empty at YFull: every test there is whole-genome and reaches the fine branches. Only YFull customers (YF number) are counted, no ancient DNA. YFull data of 2026-09-29.
