    shared genetic factors influence multiple traits or conditions

    Genetic Overlap refers to the phenomenon where different traits or conditions share common genetic factors. For example, certain genes might influence both hair growth and susceptibility to alopecia, meaning that individuals with specific genetic markers might be more likely to experience both traits. This concept is important in understanding how complex traits and diseases can be interconnected at the genetic level.
