Your "haplotype" is 16069[T] 16126[C].

There is a table of haplotype "motifs" at
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~macaulay/founder2000/motif.html which assigns this
group to Haplogroup J (called "Jasmine" by Bryan Sykes in his book "The Seven
Daughters of Eve.")

Your haplotype has been found in many locations. You can check the listings
at http://shelob.bioanth.cam.ac.uk/mtDNA/hvr1b.html. Scroll about 1/3 of the
way down the page, until you find 16069[T] in red letters. Check that section
for two records:

16024-16068[o] 16069[T] 16126[C]
16069[T] 16126[C]

The [o] means that section was not sequenced at all in the original article,
but you might very well match anyway.

These mutations are in the non-coding region of mtDNA, so they have no effect
on your health or appearance or physiology.
