Haplogroup JT is ahuman mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.
Haplogroup JT is descended from the macro-haplogroupR. It is the ancestral clade to the mitochondrial haplogroupsJ andT.
JT (predominantlyJ) was found among the ancientEtruscans.[2] The root level haplogroup JT* has been assigned to an ancient person found at the Colfiorito necropolis inUmbria in central Italy.[3]
The haplogroup has also been found amongIberomaurusian specimens dating from theEpipaleolithic at theTaforalt prehistoric site.[4] One ancient individual carried a haplotype, which correlates with either the JT clade or the haplogroupH subclade H14b1 (1/9; 11%).[5]
This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup JT subclades is based on the paper by Mannis van Oven and Manfred KayserUpdated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation[1] and subsequent published research.
Maternally inherited ancient mtDNA variants have clear impact on the presentation of disease in a modern society. Superhaplogroup JT is an example of reduced risk of Parkinson's disease[6] And mitochondrial and mtDNa alterations continue to be promising disease biomarkers.[7][8]
