Genomic diversity affects the accuracy of bacterial single-nucleotide polymorphism–calling pipelines
Background Accurately identifying single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from bacterial sequencing data is an essential requirement for using genomics to track transmission and predict important phenotypes such as antimicrobial resistance.

Recent Progress in Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism Biosensors
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), the most common form of genetic variation in the human genome, are the main cause of individual differences. Furthermore, such attractive genetic markers are emerging as important hallmarks in clinical diagnosis ...

Analysis of GLT6D1 and CDKN2BAS gene polymorphisms in Brazilian patients with advanced periodontitis
Gene polymorphisms can predispose to periodontal disease, as demonstrated by the well-documented association between aggressive periodontitis and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) such as rs153745 in the GLT6D1 gene and rs3217992 in the CDKN2BAS ...

Association between SORL1 polymorphisms and the risk of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
A meta-analysis was performed to identify empirical data assessing the effects of a single nucleotide polymorphisms of sortilin-related receptor on Alzheimer's disease based on 14 studies involving 37941 cases and 49727 control studies. Analysis showed, (

Association of the leptin receptor Q223R (rs1137101) polymorphism with obesity measures in Sri Lankans [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The role of genetic factors in the development of obesity is largely unreported in Sri Lankans. The Q223R (rs1137101) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene has been associated with obesity measures in various ...
