a SNP is defined as a variable single base position in the genome, which should appear with a frequency of at least 1% in a particular population in order to consider it as polymorphic. although this definition is still valid, the term variant is being slowly favoured, because the capabilities we have now to detect rare variants allow us to have ...

Inguinal hernia repair, also known as herniorrhaphy, is the surgical correction of an inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia is an opening, weakness, or bulge in the lining tissue (peritoneum) of the abdominal wall in the groin area between the abdomen and the thigh.
