Mexico mtDNA

FamilyTreeDNA holds for Mexico: 1,793 kits with mtDNA. On the maternal line the most common are C1b — 10%, C1c — 8% and B2 — 5%. YFull has 77 samples for mt from the same area, and its mix of major branches is noticeably different. The largest gap is C1c: 8% on FTDNA against 1% on YFull.

YFull

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.
