    GlossaryG allele

    specific gene variant with guanine at a particular DNA position

    An allele is a variant form of a gene, and the "G allele" refers to a specific version of a gene where the nucleotide guanine (G) is present at a particular position in the DNA sequence. In genetics, identifying the presence of a G allele can help determine certain traits or susceptibilities to conditions, as different alleles can influence how genes are expressed and how they function in the body.
