Yet each one tells a different story: (a), how novel - to - dbSNP variants were rare; (b), how
nonsynonymous variant frequencies are shifted to lower values relative to those of synonymous variants, (c), how this shift in allele frequencies is more pronounced for damaging nsSNPs, consistent with natural selection, and (d), how the sizes of observed indels are enriched for non-frameshift events divisible by 3.

Methods.: Dogs of various breeds, affected or unaffected with primary glaucoma, were genotyped for the Gly661Arg
variant of ADAMTS10, as well as 7 other
nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in other genes in the beagle POAG locus that segregate with disease.
Results.: For the
nonsynonymous SNPs other than the ADAMTS10
variant, control dogs were identified that were homozygous for the alternative alleles, ruling out those
variants as causative.
