Hypervariable region

A hypervariable region (HVR) is a location within or the D-loop of mitochondrial DNA in which s of s repeat. Repeats in the hypervariable region are highly.

Genetic genealogy
There are two hypervariable regions used in human mitochondrial ing. HVR1 is considered a "low resolution" region and HVR2 is considered a "high resolution" region. Getting HVR1 and HVR2 DNA tests can help determine one's.

HVR1 locations are numbered 16001-16568. HVR2 locations are numbered 001-574.
