Market Overview

Epigenetics refers to the study of gene expression without alteration in genetic code or DNA sequence. The changes in gene expression may be impacted by numerous factors including experiences, lifestyle, and environment, affecting characteristics and health consequences. Deciphering how intricate connections between nature and nurture shape an organism's growth and susceptibility to diseases requires an understanding of epigenetics. In epigenetic disorders, epigenetic medications are used to block different enzymes, including HDMs, HMTs, DNMTs, HATs, and HDACs. They can work well in conjunction with other treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy. The market is also characterized by a moderate degree of merger and acquisition endeavors executed by multiple industry participants. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in epigenetics by several companies with the aim of effective treatment with reduced complications is accelerating the market growth.
