Not exact matches

The research team's hunt for such age - related genetic associations involved studying more than 8 million single nucleotide polymorphisms — changes of one nucleotide for another at a particular spot in the DNA — in 2,693 individuals.

Each of the genetic variants studied by the researchers is a single - nucleotide polymorphism, or SNP — a site at which the DNA code is altered by a single «letter» or nucleotide in some individuals, and where one «letter» is more commonly found in individuals with higher fracture risk.

A single DNA sequence is formed from a chain of four nucleotide bases and if some individuals in a population do not carry the same nucleotide at a specific position in the sequence, the variation is classified as an SNP.
