research A Study on the Pattern of Genetic Inheritance of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
PCOS and related metabolic issues often run in families.
research Genetic Variation in the Human Androgen Receptor Gene Is the Major Determinant of Common Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.
research Androgenetic Alopecia in Men: An Update On Genetics
Androgenetic alopecia in men is genetic and linked to health issues like obesity and heart disease, with treatments including minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants.
research A genetic electrophoretic variant of high-sulfur hair proteins for forensic hair comparisons. I. Characterization of variant high-sulfur proteins of human hair.
A genetic hair protein variant is more common in Japanese people and is inherited.
research Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness
Male pattern baldness is mostly inherited, involves many genes, and is linked to other traits like early puberty and strong bones.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Hair loss and ethnicity - Caucasian men the most likely to experience hair loss
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
community The pessimism about the Crisp Cas 9 is excessive
CRISPR Cas9 could potentially treat baldness by targeting specific genes in hair follicles without affecting other body functions. There is optimism about its future use, despite ethical concerns and the current reliance on treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
community Why balding gets worse in every generation?
Balding seems to worsen with each generation, possibly due to stress, diet, and environmental factors. The user started treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community Male pattern baldness is not cosmetic.
Male pattern baldness is linked to health risks and should be treated medically. Finasteride is effective and should be insurance-covered.
community Genetic variations associated with response to Dutasteride. Why is it never mentioned?
Genetic variations influence how people respond to dutasteride for hair loss, with some benefiting more from finasteride. Dutasteride is effective for most, but genetic differences may cause it to be less effective for some.
