| single nucleotide polymorphism |
A polymorphism where the alleles differ by the replacement of a single nucleotide in the DNA sequence. For most SNPs, only two of the four possible nucleotides (A, T, C, or G) are observed.

| single nucleotide polymorphism |
A variation in the genetic code at a specific point on the DNA. In principle, SNPs could be bi-, tri-, or tetra-allelic polymorphisms. However, in humans, tri- allelic and tetra- allelic SNPs are rare almost to the point of non- existence, and so SNPs are sometimes simply referred to as bi- allelic markers (or di- allelic to be etymologically correct). This is somewhat misleading because SNPs are only a subset of all possible bi- allelic polymorphisms (eg, multiple base variations). ...

| single nucleotide polymorphism |
a difference of a single base in the sequence of a gene, which alters the structure and function of the gene product. These differences occur naturally in any population, and help to account for differences between individuals eg a SNP can mean a minor change in the primary structure of protein, but this in turn can have a more significant effect on the protein's three-dimensional structure, leading to possible changes in the protein's function. ...
