SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) are the most common type of genetic variation in our DNA sequence, where one nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) is replaced with another in a single position. SNPs can have functional implications for protein expression, activity, and regulation, and they are associated with various traits, phenotypes, and diseases. MMPs (multiple nucleotide polymorphisms) and MNMs (multiple nucleotide mutations) are not commonly used terms in genetics. SNPs are more appropriate in this context.
