combination of alleles (at a gene locus)
Explanation:
Being a biologist, I would translate it like this.
I know this is a scientific term, but that is just what is meant by "Zustand" here.

Maybe you could also write: "Combination of forms of the gene...".

"Allele: The form of a gene or genetic marker. Two different alleles of a gene or genetic marker differ because of one or more DNA sequence differences at the corresponding location (or locus) in the genome."
