Scientists compiling the HapMap, a database of small but significant points in the human genome called SNPs that vary from person to person, were supposed to have announced last week that they had catalogued 1 million SNPs.

They analyzed single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs, that is, small differences in DNA sequence that represent the most common genetic variations between individuals, and looked for variations that were more commonly inherited by people with MS compared to samples from people without the disease.

Behind the Navigenics test is an explosion in the discovery of gene variants known as SNPs, or single nucleotide polymorphisms, tiny alterations in the alphabet of our DNA that can result in differences in how people are predisposed to or protected from disease.
-
Right now, most personal genomics is based on gene scans that identify single-letter mutations in the genetic code known as SNPs, which can indicate that someone is at higher risk of various disorders.

The variants are known as SNPs -- single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Using post-mortem brain tissue from 515 patients with TDP-associated FTLD, the team found that these patients had multiple genetic variations called SNPs in common in a region on chromosome 7 containing the protein TMEM106B, compared to over 2,500 disease-free controls.
