[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [IMG]https://images2.imgbox.com/ed/57/l3GclPzR_o.png[/IMG] So according to this in modern Egyptian you add up all these paternal E lineages you get about 40% (I disregard the oasis populations they represent well under 1% of the Egyptian population) _____________________________________ this Phd thesis on modern Egyptian mitochondrial DNA concludes 25% African So if we add that to the aforementioned YDNA you get about 65% African uniparentally the mtDNA that is African mainly L3, L2 and M1. So this corresponds to the OP http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/357/1/198606_Rania%20Gomaa_PhD%20Thesis.pdf ANALYSIS OF MITOCHONDRIAL DNA VARIATION IN THE EGYPTIAN POPULATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR FORENSIC DNA ANALYSIS RANIA GOMAA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2010 haplogroup M1 was found in the Egyptian population at a frequency of 7.6%. Haplogroups H, HV, and R0 occurred at similar frequencies in the Egyptians and Tunisians with values of 25% and 27%, respectively, while higher values were reported in Algerians and Moroccans, 34% and 33.7%, respectively. The highest frequency of the European mitochondrial haplogroup T (11.5%) was reported in the Egyptian population and the lowest was reported in Moroccans (3.8%). Both Moroccans and Egyptians showed high frequencies of the European haplogroup U (excluding the subclade U6) with values of 8.5% and 8.2%, respectively... [b]haplogroup M1 was found in the Egyptian population at a frequency of 7.6%[/b]... Among African specific haplogroups, L0 was only reported in the Egyptians and Tunisians at frequencies of 2% and 0.9%, respectively. Haplogroup L1 was less represented in the Egyptian population (2.2%) compared to the other North African groups which had a low of 6.3% in Tunisians and a high of 9.4% in Moroccans. Haplogroup L2 was reported at a much lower frequency in the Egyptian population (5.6%) compared to the frequency reported in Tunisians (14.4%). Similarly,[b] haplogroup L3 was reported in 12.5% of the Egyptian population[/b] which is lower than values reported in Tunisians and Algerians (18% and 14.9%, respectively). Overall, the African L haplogroups were less represented in the Egyptian population compared to the other North Africans... the mitochondrial haplogroup T was the most frequently reported (13.8%) in the present study. In the present study, haplogroup H accounted for 12.3% of the Egyptian lineages which is very similar to the average reported in Saudi Arabia (13%) (Achilli et al. 2004; Abu-Amero et al. 2007). The N derived mitochondrial haplogroups (N1a, N1b, N1e, W, X, and I) were found in a total of 8.1% of the Egyptian haplotypes... The next common African haplogroup was L2 with a frequency of 7.7%, all of which belonged to L2a subclade. .. [b]Haplogroup L1 was only found in 1.9% of the Egyptian population,[/b] which is a very low frequency compared to North West Africa where frequencies of 10% , 10.9% and 23.4% were reported in Moroccans, Tunisians, and Mauritanians, respectively (Rando et al. 1998; Plaza et al. 2003; Turchi et al. 2009). All the reported L1 lineages in the present study were L1b types. Such a low frequency of L1 in Egypt compared to the North West African populations supports the early assumption that L1 haplogroup originated in West Africa and gave rise to subclade L1b around 30,000 years ago which then diffused into North Africa through the coastal pathway (Salas et al. 2002) [b]it was found that present day Egyptians were the closest African population to the Middle East and Europe with an overall 62.5% European, 25% African, and 12.5% Asian mitochondrial lineages.[/b] [/QB][/QUOTE]
