With the help of Ron Scott the U4 mtDNA results have been re-categorised into subclades based on FGS (full-genomic sequence) results and defining markers. As a result of the categorisation process five kits were identified that had been incorrectly classified as U4. The problem was first identified by Vincent Vizachero and a discussion can be found here on the Genealogy DNA mailing list. Bennett Greenspan of FTDNA has advised that the corrections to the haplogroup designations for the kits affected will be made in the forthcoming mtDNA database upgrade. In the meantime these five members have been removed from the project and asked to join the U3 project instead.
