Abstract (EN): Comparison was performed between 41 U6 sequences observed in North Africans, 14 in Iberia and 42 in the Canary Islands. Only 2 of the 14 Iberian sequences belong to the Canarian-specific U6b1 sub-haplogroup, and thus represent introduction from these islands. The remaining 12 sequences are very diverse (only 4 share the same haplotype), which do not support a single founder for the U6 lineages in Iberia.
