    study of how genes affect health in populations

    Genetic Epidemiology is the study of how genetic factors contribute to health and disease in populations. It combines principles from genetics and epidemiology to understand the role of genes in the distribution and determinants of diseases, such as how certain genetic variations can increase the risk of conditions like alopecia. This field helps identify genetic markers that can be used for disease prediction, prevention, and personalized treatment strategies.
