The Cambridge Reference Sequence (CRS), the human mitochondrial sequence to which all other sequences are compared, belongs to haplogroup H. About one half of testing firm, approximately 32% of the their database is haplogroup H. Of those H results, approximately 21% of them has a 519C Mutation , which is volatile and generally not useful in characterizing subclades. Haplogroup H is a descendant of Haplogroup HV . In his popular book '' The Seven Daughters Of Eve '', Bryan Sykes named the originator of this mtDNA haplogroup ''Helena''. PEOPLE IN HAPLOGROUP H , Pedro II Of Brazil , Philip III, Duke Of Burgundy , Leopold II Of Belgium , Victor Emmanuel II Of Italy , August III The Saxon , and Stanisław August Poniatowski . {Link without Title} Among other famous members of group H are Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna , wife of the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II , and all of her children. Their membership in haplogroup H was established when genetic testing was done on their remains to authenticate their identity. As a consequence, all of relatives on the matrilineal line also have this haplogroup. These include Alexandra Fyodorovna's relatives along the matrilineal line all the way back to her ancestor Blanca Núñez De Lara (approx. 1317 – 1347 ), which include her grandmother Queen Victoria and her cousins the Duke Of Edinburgh , Lord Mountbatten , and Wilhelm II Of Germany .
