In human genetics, haplogroup H is a haplogroup of the mitochondria .

The Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS), the mitochondrial sequence with which all other sequences are compared, belongs to haplogroup H.

With 40% to 50%, haplogroup H is the most common mtDNA haplogroup in Europe . This haplogroup is also common in North Africa and the Middle East . This density drops in the southeast of the continent to 20% in the Middle East and in the Caucasus .

According to FamilyTreeDNA , the nucleotide position 4336 tRNA variant of haplogroup H is related to the later onset of Alzheimer's disease .

In his popular book The Seven Daughters of Eve by Bryan Sykes is the matriarch of this haplogroup Helena.
