In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup G is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

It is an East Asian haplogroup^[1]. Today G is found at its highest frequency in northeastern Siberia.^[2] Haplogroup G is also found at lower frequency among some populations of northern East Asia and Central Asia. However, unlike other mitochondrial DNA haplogroups typical of populations of northeastern Asia, such as haplogroup A, haplogroup C, and haplogroup D, haplogroup G has not been found among indigenous peoples of the Americas.

Relationship to other haplogroups

Haplogroup G is a descendant of haplogroup M.

Subclades

Haplogroup G is divided into subclades G1 and G2a, which represent the Koryaks and Itelmen.^[2]
