Hi Carla,

Sometimes dbSNP has new data that we have yet to download (they 
continually update their data; we only update it when a new build is 
available).

However, in the case of rs78369038, the SNP is present in the "All 
SNPs(135)" track, but not in the "Common SNPs(135)" track, which is the 
one that is displayed by default in the hg19 browser.  If you put 
"rs78369038" in the position/search box, you will see a list of tracks 
in which it appears, and when you click on the link, the track will 
automatically open.

Starting with build 135, there are 4 separate SNP tracks, described on 
the SNP track description pages:

Common SNPs(135) - SNPs with >= 1% minor allele frequency (MAF), mapping 
only once to reference assembly.

Flagged SNPs(135) - SNPs < 1% minor allele frequency (MAF) (or unknown), 
mapping only once to reference assembly, flagged in dbSnp as "clinically 
associated" -- not necessarily a risk allele!

Mult. SNPs(135) - SNPs mapping in more than one place on reference assembly.

All SNPs(135) - all SNPs from dbSNP mapping to reference assembly.

I hope this information is helpful.  If you have further questions, 
please contact us again at [email protected].
