Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis and mutation detection. SNP DEFINITION. DNA sequence variations that occur when a single nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) in the genome sequence is altered.Each individual has many single nucleotide polymorphisms that together create a unique DNA pattern for that person.SNPs promise to significantly advance our ability to understand and treat human disease.NA sequence variations that occur when a single nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) in the genome sequence is altered. Each individual has many single nucleotide polymorphisms that together create a unique DNA pattern for that person.
So far about 2.4 million DNA sequence variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs) have been discovered in the human genome, and millions more exist. These variants will be most useful for discovering genes related to health and disease if their organization along chromosomes, the haplotype structure, is known. Technology is just reaching the point that haplotype maps of blocks of SNPs along chromosomes can be developed.
