1 Mitochondrial DNA Polymerase W748S Mutation: A Common Cause of Autosomal Recessive Ataxia with Ancient European Origin  Anna H. Hakonen, Silja Heiskanen, Vesa Juvonen, Ilse Lappalainen, Petri T. Luoma, Maria Rantamäki, Gert Van Goethem, Ann Löfgren, Peter Hackman, Anders Paetau, Seppo Kaakkola, Kari Majamaa, Teppo Varilo, Bjarne Udd, Helena Kääriäinen, Laurence A.

2 Figure 1 Haplotypes of the Finnish, Norwegian, British, and Belgian patients. Haplotype A and the core haplotype are shown in pink. Haplotypes B and C are shown in blue and yellow, respectively. a, The DNA marker names are written without “D15S.” Proper names can be obtained by placing “D15S” in front of each number shown. b, Four Finnish patients with haplotypes very similar to that of patient D9 are not shown. c, One Norwegian patient with a haplotype very similar to that of patient P3 is not shown.

3 Figure 2 Birthplaces of the grandparents of the Finnish patients homozygous for the W748S POLG mutation, on a map of Finland. Haplotype A is concentrated in the late-settlement area, whereas haplotypes B and C cluster solely on the western and southern coastlines. The southeastern Karelia belongs presently to Russia and is therefore indicated as separate on the map.
