  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004836",
  "term": "Genetic polymorphism",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The occurrence of two or more genetically determined phenotypes in a population, where the rarest allele has a frequency greater than 1%. This variation can involve single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, or copy number variations. Such polymorphisms contribute to individual differences in disease susceptibility and drug response.",
