About us
The H2a2b and Subclades Mitochondrial DNA Project encourages you to join if you have the following variants, 16235G and 16291T in your HVR1 results.
It includes anyone in Haplogroup H who has these markers. The mutations 16235G and 16291T are associated with the body attributed to the biblical St. Luke the Evangelist.

Those who have 16291T without the 16235G may join as long as they are assigned the H2a2b subclade.
Update: We are going to be switching to the Mitotree Haplogroups when applicable in 2026.
