Synonymous Coding SNP Definition

Synonymous Coding SNP 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 a protein-coding region of a gene that causes no amino acid change in the protein product and no detectable phenotypic effect; a silent mutation.
