The Haplogroup A lineage has been subdivided into several subgroups A1 to A5. Most Native Americans that are Haplogroup A, fall into the sub group A2 which has the DNA motif 16111T, 16223T, 16290T, 16319A, 16362C. Sub group A3 carries the Beringian-specific 16192T. Haplogroup A4 is very widely spread in Asia, representing about 10% of Chinese. Haplogroup A5 appears to be isolated to the Japanese and Koreans.
The Ice Maiden belonged to Haplogroup A. She was a12-14 year old girl who was apparently sacrificed by Inca priests 500 years ago. She was a frozen and well preserved mummy, discovered in September 1995 on Mt. Ampato in the Peruvian Andes by anthropologist Johan Reinhard and Miguel Zarate. Her mtDNA was analyzed at The Institute for Genomic Research in Rockville, Maryland. Some mtDNA from a heart sample was analyzed and scientists concluded that the Ice Maiden belonged to the native American Indian Haplogroup A. Scientists concluded that she was slender in build, had not suffered any illness, had perfect teeth and strong bones, and had a well balanced diet. She appeared to have fasted one day before sacrifice and had a fissure to the skull.
