    inherited influence on traits or conditions

    The term "genetic component" refers to the part of a trait or condition that is influenced by genes inherited from one's parents. For example, in the context of hair loss or alopecia, the genetic component would be the specific genes that make an individual more susceptible to losing hair, which can be passed down through family lines. This concept is crucial for understanding how certain traits or diseases are inherited and can help in developing targeted treatments or interventions.
