Reduced penetrance is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. Key genetic factors include mutations in specific genes that may not express phenotypically in all individuals carrying them. Environmental factors such as lifestyle, exposure to toxins, and dietary habits also play a significant role in determining whether a genetic predisposition manifests. Examples of these influences can be found in studies linked through the provided PubMed and NCBI resources.
