DNA Testing Glossary

SNP
SNP stands for single nucleotide polymorphism, which is the case of a nucleotide in a strand of DNA differing from what is expected at that location (locus). In humans, looking at these variations can help doctors to determine how a person’s system might react to certain medications or to certain illnesses. This can be useful in personalizing medical treatment.
