    Glossary Genetic Mutations

    changes in DNA sequence that can affect traits or health

    Genetic mutations are changes in the DNA sequence of an organism's genome. These alterations can occur naturally during DNA replication or be induced by environmental factors such as radiation or chemicals. While some mutations are harmless or even beneficial, others can lead to diseases or disorders, including various forms of alopecia.
