CHAPTER NINE – Statistical and genetic investigations for the purpose of personal identification

(maternal) genomes of Béla

III,

Anne of Antioch and skeleton 11/52 and conducted a haplogroup prediction as well (Olasz

et

al. 2018,

Table 5). Sequence variations are shown in Table 18.

III,

Anne of Antioch and skeleton 11/52 in the HVR1 and HVR2 hypervariable

region;

SNV: single nucleotide variation

The mtDNA of skeleton II/52_3 does not resemble the mtDNA of either Béla

III

or Anne of Antioch, which means that skeleton II/52_3 cannot be King Béla

Ill

’s son or brother. The haplogroups estimated using the prediction software EMPOP (http://empop

online) and HAPLOGREP (https://haplogrep.uibk.ac.at

)

are the following: Béla

Hlb,

Anne of Antioch -> H (Hlj8 or Hlbz), 11/52 -> T2b (T2b2bl).
