What is the Origin of SNP Variants?

The term originates from molecular genetics and genomics, where 'polymorphism' describes a variation in DNA sequence. The recognition of SNPs as crucial modulators of individual health and disease risk has driven their adoption as a primary diagnostic tool in personalized medicine.

What is the Mechanism of SNP Variants?

A SNP variant can alter the coding sequence of a gene, leading to a functional change in the resulting protein, often an enzyme. For instance, a SNP in a gene responsible for a detoxification enzyme might reduce its activity, thereby altering the body's capacity to metabolize and excrete excess hormones or toxins. Alternatively, a SNP can be located in a regulatory region, influencing the gene's expression level and consequently the density or function of hormone receptors on target cells, fundamentally changing the endocrine response.

SNP Variants

Meaning

SNP Variants, or Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Variants, are the most common type of genetic variation among people, representing a difference in a single DNA building block, or nucleotide, at a specific position in the genome. These minor genetic differences can significantly influence an individual’s unique biological blueprint, impacting everything from nutrient metabolism and detoxification capacity to the sensitivity of hormone receptors and the efficiency of enzyme function. Clinical analysis of key SNP variants is a cornerstone of Exactitude Medicine, allowing for highly personalized preventative and therapeutic strategies based on individual genetic predispositions.
