         <li>Common SNPs (142): uniquely mapped variants that appear in at least 1%
         of the population or are 100% non-reference
         <li>Flagged SNPs (142): uniquely mapped variants, excluding Common SNPs,
         that have been flagged by dbSNP as "clinically associated"

         By default, only the Common SNPs (142) are visible; other tracks must be
         made visible using the track controls. You will find the other SNPs (142) tracks on
         both of GRCh37/hg19 and GRCh38/hg38 browsers in the "Variation" group.
         </p>
         <p>
         The tracks were produced at UCSC by Angie Hinrichs and Jonathan Casper. We'd like
         to thank the dbSNP group at NCBI for providing access to these data.

+        As part of this release, we are also retiring the older dbSNP Build 135 and 137
+        data from display on the GRCh37/hg19 human assembly.  Those tracks will still be
+        available for viewing on our
