“SNPs" are a variation in the genetic code which are common and located at a single allele (sometimes referred to as point mutations), and are used to determine genetic markers such as proclivities to disease.
They are in fact a type of mutation, but are usually distinguished from the variations which are commonly called “mutations”....a term which is usually used to describe less common variations/abnormalities.

@DragonFruit Does everyone have snps even Alabamians and Tennesseans?

@Tennessee2 These are variations which distinguish certain groups of people from others, so I would think that everyone would probably have some kind of SNPs.

"DNA variations are prominent among individuals. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and mutation are two such variations that result in the nucleotide sequence differences in organisms. The key difference between SNP and mutation is that SNP represents a single nucleotide difference in DNA while mutation represents any change of DNA including single to many nucleotide differences. SNP is one kind of a mutation."
