Table 1.
Inferred frequencies of mtDNA haplogroups in three Malagasy populations: Merina, Vezo, and Mikea.
| Malagasy population | mtDNA haplogroups | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L4, L3, L2, L1 | M23 | M7c3 | E1a1a | M46 | M* | F3b | B4a1a1a | |
| Mikea (127) | 71 | 1 | 8 | 13 | 3 | 9 | 5 | 17 |
| Vezo (101) | 47 | 4 | 9 | 5 | 5 | 3 | 6 | 22 |
| Merina (38) | 13 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 19 |
| Total (266) | 131 | 5 | 17 | 22 | 10 | 12 | 11 | 58 |
Note. Sequence classification into mtDNA haplogroups was based on accepted nomenclature as detailed in the Materials and Methods section. M* include lineages that were not complete sequenced and thus could not be assignated to currently published haplogroups.
