Below is an excerpt from that document that should address your question:</p><p>&#x0201c;...[fxn-class] defines variation functional classes. We base class on the relationship between a variation and any local gene features. When a variation is near a transcript or in a transcript interval but not in the coding region, then we define the functional class by the position of the variation relative to the structure of the aligned transcript. In other words, a variation may be near a gene (locus region), in a UTR (mrna-utr), in an intron (intron), or in a splice site (splice site). If the variation is in a coding region, then the functional class of the variation depends on how each allele may affect the translated peptide sequence.</p><p>Typically, one allele of a variation will be the same as the contig (contig reference), and the other allele will be either a synonymous change or a nonsynonymous change. In some cases, one allele will be a synonymous change, and the other allele will be a nonsynonymous change. If any allele is a nonsynonymous change, then the variation is classified as a nonsynonymous variation. Otherwise, the variation is classified as a synonymous variation.</p><p>The Four Basic Outcomes When a Variation Is in Coding Sequence</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The allele is the same as the contig (contig reference) and hence causes no change to the translated sequence.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The allele, when substituted for the reference sequence, yields a new codon that encodes the same amino acid. This is termed a synonymous substitution.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The allele, when substituted for the reference sequence, yields a new codon that encodes a different amino acid. This is termed a nonsynonymous substitution.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A problem with the annotated coding region feature prohibits conceptual translation. In this case, we note the variation class as coding, based solely on position.</div></li></ul><p>Because functional classification is defined by positional and sequence parameters, two facts emerge: (a) if a gene has multiple transcripts because of alternative splicing, then a variation may have several different functional relationships to the gene; and (b) if multiple genes are densely packed in a contig region, then a variation at a single location in the genome may have multiple, potentially different, relationships to its local gene neighbors.&#x0201d; <b>(3/14/05)</b></p></blockquote></div><div><h4 id="Rprt_SNP_Class_Defin.what_does_it_mean_w">What does it mean when an SNP is labeled &#x0201c;synonymous&#x0201d; or &#x0201c;non-synonymous&#x0201d;?</h4><blockquote><p>The terms &#x0201c;synonymous&#x0201d; and &#x0201c;non-synonymous&#x0201d; are used for SNPs that are in predicted protein coding regions (i.e., exons of genes). Synonymous SNPs are those SNPs that have different alleles that encode for the same amino acid. Non-synonymous SNPs are SNPs that have different alleles that encode different amino acids. For further details, I recommend querying for &#x0201c;genetic code&#x0201d; or &#x0201c;protein translation&#x0201d; at the <a href="/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Books" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NCBI books website</a>.</p></blockquote></div><div><h4 id="Rprt_SNP_Class_Defin.i_noticed_in_the_do">I noticed in the documentation where "coding nonsynonymous" is mentioned as a SNP function class, yet, I don&#x02019;t think I&#x02019;ve ever seen it used. Instead I see the term "missense".</h4><blockquote><p>In ftp reports for older builds, we did use the term &#x0201c;nonsynonymous&#x0201d; to as a function class. Then about a year ago, the functional class code became more sophisticated so that it could describe the type of nonsynonymous change the SNP caused: &#x0201c;missense&#x0201d;, &#x0201c;nonsense&#x0201d; or &#x0201c;frameshift&#x0201d;.</p><p>So &#x0201c;&#x0201d;missense&#x0201d;, &#x0201c;nonsense&#x0201d;, and &#x0201c;frameshift&#x0201d; are types of nonsynonymous change a variation can cause.
