Sažetak
In the coverage of the genetic pool of Europe, some major cavities were left, hence to fill one of them, namely the French mtDNA pool we collected 868 samples from twelve different locations of France. Those samples were sequenced for the hypervariable segment I (HVS- I) and then typed for SNPs in the coding region, either by RFLP or 5' nuclease allelic discrimination, in order to assign them to the right haplogroup. Then the mtDNA gene pools of French Basques and Bretons were compared in terms of frequency and composition with relevant neighbouring populations. The French Basques’ mtDNA pool shares some common cardinal features with that of the Spanish Basques, represented in the high prevalence of haplogroup H. However, the French Basques do show a number of distinct features, most notably expressed in the much higher frequency of haplogroups linked with the Neolithic diffusion in Europe. In Brittany, Finistè ; ; re shows closer affinities with Britain and Scandinavia than the two other departments of Brittany. The mtDNA haplogroup composition of the French does not differ significantly from the surrounding European genetic landscape. In a finer grain, microgeographical differentiation can be revealed as shown for the French Basque country and for Brittany.
