How can researchers hope to identify and study all
the changes that occur in so many different
diseases?
How can they explain why some people respond to
treatment and not other?
Answer of these question can be given by SNP
poly= many
morphs = shapes
Ability to appear in different shapes
Other terms:
= position on chromosome where sequence or gene
is located
: alternative form of DNA on a locus
A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, also known as Simple Nucleotide
Polymorphism, is a DNA sequence variation occurring commonly
within a population (e.g. 1%) in which a single nucleotide —
A, T, C or G — in the genome differs between
members of a biological specie .
Pronounced snips
Common type of genetic variation among people
Each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block called
as nucleotide
In human 99.9% bases are same Remaining0.1%
bases makes a person unique
in looks, traits and developing diseases
These variations can be
Harmless i.e. phenotype
Harmful i.e. any disease like cancer , diabetes , heart disease
, hemophilia etc
 Latent e.g. susceptibility to lung cancer)
First discovered (early 1980): restriction fragment length
polymorphism
1. SNPs are found in
o coding
o noncoding region
oLocus-specific
2. SNPs in coding regions may alter the protein structure
made by that coding region.
3. Occur with a very high frequency
o about 1 in 1000 bases to 1 in 100 to 300 bases.
4.The abundance of SNPs and the ease with which they
can be measured make these genetic variations significant.
5. SNPs close to particular gene acts as marker for that gene
6.Occur once in every 300 nucleotides on average roughly
there are 10 million SNPs in human genome
Sequence genome of a large no of people
Compare the base sequence to discover SNPs
Generate a single map of human genome that contain
all possible SNPs
Genome of each individual contains
distinct SNP pattern.
People can be grouped based on the SNP
profile.
SNPs Profiles important for identifying
response to Drug Therapy.
Correlations might emerge between
certain SNP profiles and specific responses
to treatment.

within gene and do not effect protein function. Nevertheless
they do correspond to a particular drug response

Non synonymous SNP may be missense or nonsense.
: Missense SNP leads to a different codon that
codes for other amino acid.
Nonsense mutation in which a codon is changed
to a premature stop codon that results in truncation of the
resulting protein
A set of closely linked genetic markers present on one
chromosome which tend to be inherited together (not easily
separable by recombination)

is a method for separation and analysis of macromolecules and their
fragments Nucleic acid molecules are separated by applying an electric field
to move the negatively charged molecules through a matrix of agarose or
other substances.
Shorter molecules move faster and migrate farther than longer ones.
This phenomenon is called sieving.

mass spectrometry has specifically been investigated as an
alternative method to gel electrophoresis for visualizing DNA
fragments. With this method, DNA fragments are compared
by mass rather than by size. The mass of each nucleotide is
different from the others and this difference is detectable by
mass spectrometry.
Single-nucleotide mutations in a fragment can be more
easily detected with MS than by gel electrophoresis alone
Electrophoretic separation of single-stranded nucleic acids based on subtle differences
in sequence which results in a different secondary structure and a measurable difference
in mobility through a gel. A single nucleotide change in a particular sequence, as
seen in a double-stranded DNA, cannot be distinguished by electrophoresis,
because the physical properties of the double strands are almost identical for both
alleles
SSCP limitations:
• mobilty needs constant temperature.
•under optimal conditions, approximately 80 to 90% of the potential base exchanges are
detectable
• Sensitivity of SSCP is affected by pH.

Editor's Notes

  • #25 The mobility of double-stranded DNA in gel electrophoresis is dependent on strand size and length but is relatively independent of the particular nucleotide sequence.  The mobility of single strands, however, is noticeably affected by very small changes in sequence, possibly one changed nucleotide out of several hundred.  Small changes are noticeable because of the relatively unstable nature of single-stranded DNA; in the absence of a complementary strand, the single strand may experience intrastrand base pairing, resulting in loops and folds that give the single strand a unique 3D structure, regardless of its length.  A single nucleotide change could dramatically affect the strand's mobility through a gel by altering the intrastrand base pairing and its resulting 3D conformation (Melcher, 2000).     Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis takes advantage of this quality of single-stranded DNA.  First announced in 1989 as a new means of detecting DNA polymorphisms, or sequence variations, SSCP analysis offers an inexpensive, convenient, and sensitive method for determining genetic variation (Sunnucks et al., 2000).     Like restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs),  SSCPs are allelic variants of inherited, genetic traits that can be used as genetic markers.  Unlike RFLP analysis, however, SSCP analysis can detect DNA polymorphisms and mutations at multiple places in DNA fragments (Orita et al., 1989).  As a mutation scanning technique, though, SSCP is more often used to analyze the polymorphisms at single loci, especially when used for medical diagnoses (Sunnucks et al., 2000).
  • #26 SSCP used to be a way to discover new DNA polymorphisms apart from DNA sequencing, but is now being supplanted by sequencing techniques on account of efficiency and accuracy.[

Several methods have been developed to visualize the SSCP mobility shifts. These include the incorporation of radioisotope labeling, silver staining, fluorescent dye-labeled PCR primers, and more recently, capillary-based electrophoresis. Silver staining is simple, rapid, and cost-effective, and can be routinely performed in clinical laboratories. The use of SSCP analysis to discover and genotype single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been widely applied to the genetics of hypertension, including both monogenic (e.g., Liddle's syndrome) and polygenic disorders (e.g., essential hypertension).
