    TLDR Certain genetic markers and low vitamin D3 levels are linked to male pattern baldness.
    The study examines the link between male androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and factors like HLA-DRB1 alleles and vitamin D3 deficiency, involving 85 male patients. It found a higher occurrence of HLA-DRB101, HLA-DRB104, and HLA-DRB111 alleles in these patients, with 82% showing low vitamin D3 levels. The study concludes that AGA is associated with these genetic and metabolic factors, suggesting the importance of systemic evaluation for affected individuals.
