Splice Site SNP
An inherited single base substitution in a sequence of eukaryotic DNA located in either an acceptor (3' or downstream) or donor (5' or upstream) splice site of a gene. Functional single nucleotide polymorphisms in these intron-exon junctions can cause incorrect RNA splicing which, in turn, alters gene expression. (NCI Thesaurus)
