Class

A sequence variant where there is no resulting change to the encoded amino acid.

EBI term: Synonymous SNPs - In coding sequence, not resulting in an amino acid change (i.e. silent mutation). This term is sometimes used synonomously with the more general term 'silent mutation', although a silent mutation may occur in non coding sequence. The best practice is to annotate to the most specific term.
