[ensembl-dev] Can a SNP span 366bp ?

[Benoît Ballester]

Hi, 

I am fetching variants for some slices using the API (v65). 
But for a given slice (22:24309259-24309271) I find this variant rs11553164 (T/C) which span 366bp !

rs11553164      T/C     22      24309211        24309576        1       SNP     dbSNP   ESSENTIAL_SPLICE_SITE

I am probably missing something obvious, but how come this SNP (T/C) can spread 366bp ?
I would expect the usual 1bp, I find this is a bit confusing. 



#-- the same apply in v67

Thanks for the feedback,
