Untranslated Region SNP

**Semantic type:** Nucleotide Sequence

**Definition:** Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in UTR Sequences consists of a variation at an appreciable frequency between individuals of a single interbreeding population of a single nucleotide, due to base substitution, at an equivalent location within the sequence region at the 5' end (preceding the initiation codon) or at the 3' end (following the stop codon) of a messenger RNA that are not translated into protein and may contain transcription and translation regulating sequences.

**Synonyms:** - Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in UTR Sequences - UTR SNP
