What is a haplotype example?
Haplotype is a contraction for haploid genotype. It refers to a collection of specific alleles in a cluster of tightly-linked genes. A classic example is the cluster of HLA alleles in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Even segments of DNA that lie between genes can be present as specific haplotypes.
How common are haplotypes?
Common haplotypes are in all populations The pattern of variation within and among populations for haplotype structure is just starting to be studied on a large scale. Recent studies show that the common haplotypes are found in all populations studied, and that the population-specific haplotypes are generally rare.

Many 23andMe customers that contact Customer Care are confused by their haplogroup assignments and what they actually mean. But knowing your haplogroup, and how you can use it, can give you much more clarity about your own ancestry.
When do new haplogroups start to form?
New haplogroups are formed even today when a gene mutation occurs in someone from a particular ancestral clan. However, it takes generations for enough people to carry the mutation for it to be prevalent enough for it to be considered a haplogroup. Therefore, any haplogroups that start forming today will not be recognized as new ones for centuries.

How can a woman infer her paternal haplogroup?
A woman can infer her paternal haplogroup if a male relative on her paternal line has been genotyped by 23andMe. Because both the Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA change so little over generations, they are very informative about your ancient ancestry.
