Types of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their biological consequences. SNPs occurring in the coding sequences (exons) may lead to codon change leading to an amino acid (AA) or no AA change. Changes in AA could lead to either change in protein structure or function. Noncoding regulatory SNPs could potentially lead to changes in transcription, mRNA stability, protein structure or function, or changes in binding sites of miRNA.
