Does refSNP number rs1801280 represent the location of the SNP or the SNP itself?
The refSNP (rs) number is a unique identifier for SNP and does not infer position. An rs number may have one or more positions on a sequence (ie. SNP located in repeated region). When referring to a genotype for an individual, it should be specified with the rs number as well as the observed alleles (ie. A/A, A/T, or T/T). Please refer to dbSNP SNPINDUSE submission documentation if you need the format for submitting genotypes to dbSNP. (06/05/08)
