a

mtDNA sequences are stratified by continent of origin (AFR = Africa; EUR = Europe; ASIA = Asia/Native American). A = nonsynonymous substitutions; S = synonymous substitutions. Note that, in these analyses, haplogroup-associated and private substitutions are pooled into a single number.

b

P values were determined with Fisher’s exact test.
