Loss of a specific protein in skin cells causes symptoms similar to psoriasis.
research Evidence-based approach to cutaneous hyperandrogenism in women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research Evidence-based treatments for female pattern hair loss: a summary of a Cochrane systematic review

The research found two types of calcium in human hair, one that varies among individuals and another that is consistent across people.
research Evidence for Genetic Heterogeneity in Monilethrix
research Evidence for a polygenic contribution to androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss risk is influenced by multiple genes.
research Evidence for two independent functional variants for androgenetic alopecia around the androgen receptor gene
Two gene areas linked to male pattern baldness found, more research needed.
research Evidence for biological shaping of hair ice
A fungus is essential for forming and shaping hair ice on dead wood.
research Evidence of increased DNA methylation of the androgen receptor gene in occipital hair follicles from men with androgenetic alopecia
Men with hair loss have more DNA changes in back-of-head hair follicles, possibly protecting them from thinning.
