    underlying genetic factors influencing a trait or condition

    The term "Genetic Basis" refers to the underlying genetic factors that contribute to the development of a particular trait or condition. This includes specific genes, gene variants, and their interactions that influence the manifestation of characteristics such as hair color, susceptibility to alopecia, or other biological traits. Understanding the genetic basis helps in identifying the hereditary components and potential genetic causes of these traits or conditions.
