    modifications in gene expression without altering the DNA sequence

    Epigenetic changes refer to modifications in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence.

Common mechanisms include DNA methylation and histone modification, which can have significant impacts on biological processes and conditions, including hair growth and alopecia.
