A change at one nucleotide is called a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). CNV stands for copy number variation, which involves changes in copy number of a DNA segment. Private polymorphism refers to a polymorphism (variation) that is present only within a single population or family. Indel stands for insertion/deletion, which involves the addition or removal of a small stretch of DNA.
