    Glossary Candidate Genes

    specific genes believed to influence a particular trait or disease

    Candidate genes are specific genes that researchers believe may be associated with a particular trait or disease, based on their known biological functions or previous studies. For example, in the context of alopecia (hair loss), scientists might identify candidate genes that are involved in hair growth or immune system regulation, as these processes are relevant to the condition. Identifying and studying these genes can help in understanding the underlying mechanisms of the disease and potentially lead to targeted treatments.
