szupergén
Szupergén is a term used in genetics to describe a gene that has a disproportionately large effect on an organism's phenotype, often due to its role in a critical developmental pathway or a highly influential regulatory network. These genes are not necessarily the most numerous or the most highly expressed, but their impact is amplified, leading to significant observable traits. The concept of a szupergén is particularly relevant in understanding complex traits and diseases where a single genetic locus can contribute substantially to a particular phenotype.
The identification of szupergénes often involves studying the genetic basis of diseases or extreme phenotypes. For
