Genotype Phenotype Correlation

Meaning

Genotype-phenotype correlation is the scientific and clinical effort to establish a direct, quantifiable relationship between an individual’s specific genetic makeup (genotype) and their observable physical, biochemical, or clinical characteristics (phenotype). In the context of hormonal health, this means linking genetic variants in hormone-related genes to measurable outcomes like serum hormone levels, receptor sensitivity, or metabolic rate. Understanding this correlation is fundamental for predicting individual responses to hormone therapy and targeted wellness interventions. It bridges the gap between the static genetic code and dynamic biological function.
