Unfortunately, SNPs can occur with many proteins involved in drug transport, metabolism and receptors that ultimately influence both the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of many medications.

They carry balanced translocations between the X chromosome and an autosome. Although the autosomal breakpoints are all different, the X-chromosome breaks are at closely linked positions corresponding to cytologically visible deletions in males. Both the deficiencies and balanced translocations aided in the cloning of these genes. In Drosophila, the light-microscope study of chromosomal abnormalities is facilitated by the very large chromosomes of the larval salivary gland Figure The large size of these chromosomes, referred to as polytene chromosomes, has permitted compilation of very detailed maps of stained regions bands and unstained regions interbands.
Comparison of the banding patterns from normal flies and mutant flies can localize some mutations to quite specific chromosomal regions. The polytene salivary gland chromosomes from Drosophila melanogaster can be stained to reveal their very reproducible banding pattern. The nucleotide sequence of a chromosome , or portion thereof, constitutes its complete physical map.
More common are partial physical maps, such as a set of ordered DNA clones and maps of restriction sites in which the nucleotide distances between sites are known.

DNA Polymorphisms Are Used to Map Human Mutations In the experimental organisms commonly used in genetic studies, many phenotypic markers are readily available for genetic mapping of mutations. Figure G-banding of human chromosomes. Figure The polytene salivary gland chromosomes from Drosophila melanogaster can be stained to reveal their very reproducible banding pattern.
X-linked recessive mutations, autosomal recessive mutations, and autosomal dominant mutations exhibit characteristic segregation patterns. Genes and molecular markers previously mapped to a particular autosome can be used to map other genes to that chromosome , as linked genes and markers on the same chromosome segregate together with higher frequency than unlinked genes.
Genetic recombination between genes on the same chromosomes, which can occur during meiosis , permits the mapping of genes on the same chromosome relative to each other see Figure The farther apart two genes are on a chromosome, the greater their frequency of recombination. Numerous phenotypic markers are available in common experimental organisms for use in recombinational analysis.
In humans, restriction fragment length polymorphisms RFLPs and other types of polymorphisms, particularly in noncoding DNA regions, are useful in genetic mapping of disease genes.
Abnormalities in chromosome structure, reflected in altered banding patterns, can aid in mapping certain mutations in experimental animals and disease genes in humans. Freeman and Company.

These variations may be unique or occur in many individuals; scientists have found more than million SNPs in populations around the world.
Most commonly, these variations are found in the DNA between genes. They can act as biological markers, helping scientists locate genes that are associated with disease.
Most SNPs have no effect on health or development.
