    GlossaryGenetic Hair Disorders (Inherited Hair Disorders)

    conditions affecting hair growth or health inherited through genes

    Genetic Hair Disorders, also known as Hereditary Hair Disorders, are conditions affecting hair growth, structure, or health that are passed down through families via genes. These disorders can lead to various issues such as hair thinning, baldness (alopecia), or abnormal hair texture, and are often diagnosed through family history and genetic testing.
