Need help understanding my results,X,16189c,16223t,16278,16519c,

[bgreen]

I am new at this, so please excuse any mistakes I might make about my mtDna or if I use an incorrect terminalogy.
My results are haplogroup X, 16189c,16223t,161278t,165519c.
What does the 165519c mean? I understand that the first 3 sequences are what identifies me as an "X", and that 16223t shows a connection back to Africa(and possibly a Gypsy or Roma connection). But what of the others?
Since I would like to learn as much as possible, I would love to hear from anyone!
thanks,

Brenda

Understanding...

I have found the same info that you have Brenda. 16519c is so common that it really doesn't mean much at all. I have found some info that Haplogroup x (and specifically the mutation 16189c) could be of Asian origin, and was brought into Europe and the Near East by the Roma. There is a lot of conflicting and confusing info about this.
