Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a variation in the DNA sequence at a precise position among individuals which lead to genetic variation among people. For example, a SNP may replace the nucleotide cytosine (C) with the nucleotide thymine (T) in a certain stretch of DNA. Most commonly, these variations are found in the DNA between genes. When SNPs occur within a gene or in a regulatory region near a gene, they may play a more direct role in disease by affecting the gene’s function. Researchers have found that SNPs can also be used to track the inheritance of disease genes within families.


A single nucleotide polymorphism, or SNP is an alteration at a single position in a DNA sequence among individuals. If more than 1% of a population does not carry the same nucleotide at a specific position in the DNA sequence, then this variation can be classified as a SNP. If a SNP occurs within a gene, then the gene is described as having more than one allele. In these cases, SNPs may lead to variations in the amino acid sequence which are often associated with genetic disorders and other related diseases. SNPs occur normally throughout a person’s DNA and function as biological markers which help scientists to detect genes that are associated with a particular genetic disorder. SNPs can also be used to track the inheritance of disease genes within families. Some of these genetic differences, however, have proven to be very important in the study of human health.
