Checking a SNP as common SNP or not using UCSC genome browser

Question

[maricom]

Hi all,

I want to know how I can tell if a variant I got is a common SNP or not using UCSC genome browser.

For example, if I got 1:115258683-A>A/C on GRCh37, how can I check if this is a common SNP or rare SNP?

I found that there is "dbSNP 155" in "Variation" in the genome browser, but not sure how I can set it up and check.

Thank you!

I would go in dbSNP and copy paste your SNP location. You can check in this link-

After you know the rsid you can input in UCSC Genome Browser. You can check this link here-
