The frequencies of the Asian (M, BM) and European (N, J,
K) mtDNA haplogroups in five major regions of Iran was
investigated. Unexpectedly, the frequencies of the Asian
haplogroups M and BM were low in Iran (2.34% for haplogroup
M; 17.6% for haplogroup BM and 80.06% for haplogroup
N). Almost identical frequencies for haplogroups J
and K were found in the present study (10.81% and 10.14%
for haplogroups J and K, respectively). On the other hand,
the frequencies of haplogroups M and BM in Eastern regions
were more than their frequencies in Western regions of the
country. In contrast, the frequencies of haplogroups J and K
in Western regions were more than their frequencies in
Eastern regions of Iran. As a result, this study gives evidence
for similarity between Iranian population ethnic groups and
people from Northwest Asia and Southeast Europe. Our data
suggest that Iranian tribes probably played a remarkable role
in the formation of these ethnic groups. It gives the indication
that the haplogroup J may be older than 6000-10000 years,
and probably developed in Iran, and then expanded to different
regions in Europe and Northwest Asia. On the other
hand, it seems that the super-haplogroup M has developed
after the inhabitants of Iran moved to Eastern Asia or this
group migrated from Southern Iran/North of Arabian halve O
to Pakistan and then to Asia.
