January 2024 in “Open MIND” This study investigates the genetic basis of male pattern hair loss (MPHL) by examining rare genetic variants and their associations with COVID-19 and short anagen hair syndrome (SAH). Utilizing data from the UK Biobank, the research identifies rare variants in five genes (WNT10A, EDA2R, HEPH, CEPT1, EIF3F) contributing to MPHL, with WNT10A variants also linked to SAH. Contrary to previous studies, no genetic or epidemiological correlation between MPHL and severe COVID-19 was found. The findings enhance understanding of MPHL genetics and its connections to other dermatological conditions.
