Mitogenomic diversity in Tatars from the Volga-Ural region of Russia
B. Malyarchuk et al.
To investigate diversity of mitochondrial gene pool of Tatars inhabiting the territory of the middle Volga River basin, 197 individuals from two populations representing Kazan Tatars and Mishars were subjected for analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region variation. In addition, 73 mitochondrial genomes of individuals from Mishar population were sequenced completely. It was found that mitochondrial gene pool of the Volga Tatars consists of two parts, but western Eurasian component prevails considerably (84% on average) over eastern Asian one (16%). Eastern Asian mtDNAs detected in Tatars belonged to a heterogeneous set of haplogroups (A, C, D, G, M7, M10, N9a, Y, Z), although only haplogroups A and D were revealed simultaneously in both populations. Complete mtDNA variation study revealed that the age of western Eurasian haplogroups (such as U4, HV0a and H) is less than 18,000 years, thus suggesting re-expansion of Eastern Europeans soon after the Last Glacial Maximum.

In Tatar population living in the Volga-Ural region and representing the most numerous Turkic speaking group in Russia, the frequency of East-Eurasian mtDNA lineages (haplogroups M [including CZ], A, B, F, D, G, N9) comprise only 15% of maternal gene pool. With respect to their genes Tatars are much closer to their Slavonic and Finno-Ugric neighbors than to other Turkic speaking populations.
Language replacement in Turkic speaking populations demonstrated by maternal and paternal lineages and autosomal Alu insertions
