    Glossary Homozygous Mutation

    individual has two identical copies of a mutated gene

    A homozygous mutation refers to a genetic alteration where an individual has two identical copies of a mutated gene, one inherited from each parent. This can lead to the expression of certain traits or conditions, such as specific types of alopecia, if the mutation affects genes involved in hair growth and maintenance.
