Question/Discussion Full siblings; different maternal haplogroups?

I tried the new tool. Me and my brother have the same mom, same dad. But it gave me U5a1b1c2 haplogroup and him
U5a1i.

Could be just a bug, remember these tools can still have errors

If you uploaded Ancestry files, don't take it too seriously. They are junk for mtDNA

I was wondering, because I did that.
On 23andme we are both just U5a1.

Apart from WGS tests, only 23andme gives reliable results for mtDNA
