A genetic region near the PAX1 gene is linked to a higher risk of scoliosis in females.
research Prostaglandin D 2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
research Clinical relevance of hair microscopy in alopecia
Hair microscopy is useful for diagnosing certain hair loss conditions but has limitations and must be interpreted carefully.

research Are 2D:4D finger-length ratios an indicator of androgenetic alopecia in males?
Right hand finger ratio may predict male hair loss.
research Factors associated with early-onset androgenetic alopecia: A scoping review
Early-onset baldness is linked to genetics, lifestyle, and can indicate higher risk for heart and metabolic diseases, and affects mental health.
research Male pattern baldness and prostate cancer risk in a population-based case–control study
Men who start losing hair at age 30 may have a lower risk of prostate cancer.
research Androgenic alopecia is not useful as an indicator of men at high risk of prostate cancer
Baldness at age 40 is not linked to a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
research Global Landscapes of Human Phenotypic Variation in Inherited Traits
Different human traits like skin color and hair type vary between populations due to genetic adaptations to the environment.
research Forensic DNA Phenotyping: Male Pattern Baldness: Traditional Review
DNA markers can help predict male pattern baldness, useful in criminal and missing person cases.
research Risk factors for prostate cancer: a case-control study investigating selected key exposures and their interactions with predisposition genes
Age, race, family history, and certain genetic factors increase prostate cancer risk.
research Genetic prediction of male pattern baldness based on large independent datasets
New models predict male pattern baldness better than old ones but still need improvement.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2016 objectives and design update
The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.
research Alopecia areata: A multifactorial autoimmune condition
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease causing patchy hair loss, often with other autoimmune disorders, but its exact causes are unknown.
research Early androgenetic alopecia as a marker of insulin resistance
Early hair loss may indicate risk of insulin resistance.
research Endocrine Influences on Hair Growth
Hormones and genetics affect hair growth and patterns, with some changes reversible and others not.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions during Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
research How to distinguish medicalization from over-medicalization?
The article suggests using four questions to tell apart necessary medicalization from excessive medicalization, focusing on problem significance, social expectations, medical understanding, and effective resolution.
research The hair follicle enigma
The document concludes that understanding hair follicles requires more research using computational methods and an integrative approach, considering the current limitations in hair treatment products.
research Distinct mechanisms underlie pattern formation in the skin and skin appendages
Different processes create patterns in skin and things like hair and feathers.
research Male pattern baldness and incidence of prostate cancer
Men with vertex baldness may have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, but more research is needed to confirm this.
research Male balding as a major risk factor for severe COVID-19: A possible role for targeting androgens and transmembrane protease serine 2 to protect vulnerable individuals
Severe male balding may increase the risk of serious COVID-19, and treatments that reduce androgens or block a specific enzyme might help protect these individuals.
research Androgenic alopecia may have evolved to protect men from prostate cancer by increasing skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Male pattern baldness might have evolved to help protect against prostate cancer by increasing UV radiation on the scalp.
