👉 In genetics, a geneic is a genetic variant or variation that occurs at a specific point in the genome. It can be either an autosomal recessive mutation (a mutation affecting one sex) or an X-linked recessive mutation (a mutation affecting both sexes). A geneic can have multiple variants, but its most common form is called a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). These SNPs are often found on the same chromosome and can be inherited together.
