Haplogroup L0 is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup.

Origin

The region in Africa where Tishkoff found the greatest level of mitochondrial diversity (green) and the region Behar et al. postulated the most ancient division in the human population began to occur (light brown)

L0 is one of two branches from the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) for the shared human maternal lineage. The haplogroup consists of five main branches (L0a, L0b, L0d, L0f, L0k). Four of them were originally classified into L1 subclades, L1a, L1d, L1f and L1k.

In 2014, ancient DNA analysis of a 2,330 year old male forager's skeleton in

Late Iron Age desiccated mummy from the Tuli region in northern Botswana was also found to belong to haplogroup L0.[5]

L0 is found most commonly in

) 100%.

Haplogroup L0d is found among Khoisan groups of

Coloured population of South Africa and frequencies range from 60%[11] to 71%.[10]
This illustrates the massive maternal contribution of Khoisan people to sections of the Coloured population of South Africa.

Haplogroups L0k is the second most common haplogroup in the Khoisan groups closer to the Sanid side with (following L0d) being more Khoid but is largely restricted to the Khoisan as a whole.[7][8][9][10] Although the Khoisan associated L0d haplogroup were found in high frequencies in sections of the Coloured population of South Africa, L0k were not observed in two studies involving large groups of Coloured individuals.[10][11]

Haplogroup L0f is present in relatively small frequencies in Tanzania, East Africa among the Sandawe people of Tanzania.

Haplogroup L0a is most prevalent in South-East African populations (25% in Mozambique).[6] Among

Hadramawt (Yemen).[12]

Haplogroup L0b is found in Ethiopia.

Drug and disease interactions

In patients who are given the drug stavudine to treat HIV, Haplogroup L0a2 is associated with a higher likelihood of peripheral neuropathy as a side effect.[13]
