Interesting paper about the susceptibility to arthritis for carriers of mithocondrial haplogroup H2 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-56921-x?draft=collection#MOESM1

Osteo-degenerative Arthritis, Dupuytrens contracture. My mother has Rheumatoid Arthritis and her brother as well, but his has been severe his whole life. My grandmother of my H2a2a2 is 94 and disease free! Same state our whole lives. Very interesting to what causes the severity in each of us. DNA is so amazing. My arthritis is getting a little worse. Not on pharmaceutical meds for any of it yet.

I really want to see how Covid-19 and our haplogroup correlates.

You might find interesting to know that the haplogroup H2 is one of the human MtDNA found in the Holy Shroud of Turin. 😍 https://www.nature.com/articles/srep14484/tables/2

hello everyone! Here is the last state of my research about mtDNA H2. I went back to Levant during Early Neolithic, then Lesser Caucasus and Europe during Late Néolithique/ Chalcolithique. The paper is in French but an english version is coming soon. Available at academia.edu : https://www.academia.edu/43688308/ARSENITE_DE_CUIVRE_ET_ETABLE_CONTRE_YERSINIA_PESTIS_OU_GENESE_DUNE_CASTE_DELEVEURS_AU_CHALCOLITHIQUE

Thank you, Marc. I will have to wait for the English translation as my 50 year old school French won't cope with it.

Hello, my grandfather’s mtdna is H2a1 from Finland. You write also mtdna haplogroup U5a1b1 and my mother line is same, is it steppe origin from Caucasus like H2a1?

I am italian from the island of Sicily and this is my MtDNA H2a3's age estimation from Yfull. I am quite confused about it. Most sources in internet says this haplogroup is mostly found in Eastern Europe, while others say it's italian. Most researches I did point to Eastern European countries, most of my matches are also Eastern Europeans with two samples from Italy. Any member from here has an idea about it? Any member is H2a3 like me?

Hi, I am H2a3. I am from Bulgaria, but according to 23andme I also have Italian heritage. So could work for both.

Hi Paulina. Actually the haplogroup H2a3 seems to be of Eastern European origins, so I am not surprised you are H2a3 but in my case it's very rare in Sicily. It might be a coincidence but in my autosomal test I have Eastern European heritage, which I don't know where it might come from. How much is your italian heritage in 23andme?
Paulina Kiely
July 21 @ 5:00am
Right now it says 6% italian heritage, but last year it was showing up as 11%... So who knows, I think they keep tweaking and revising the estimates.

Honestly everybody in Europe always get some percentage of italian. Btw it's interesting you are H2a3. Do you know your earliest maternal ancestor?
