In the Sanger approach, DNA would be isolated from the biopsy and would contain both normal alleles and mutant alleles of genes associated with the development of the tumour. If, for example, PCR amplification was then used to derive a sample of a target template region, this material would end up being sequenced as a mixed population: the derived sequence ...

Well SNPs are single nucleotide polymorphisms. Some SNPs are in the coding regions of genes and they can result in changes in the resulting protein. For example, the SNP rs1801131 is a human variation where some individuals have a G instead of an A at position 1515 of the gene MTHFR. When the gene is transcribed and then translated into protein, this ...

It is because the two genes overlap:
CLCN6 is on the plus strand and MTHFR is on the minus strand. The SNP is annotated to both because it falls in a region of the genome claimed by both genes.
