    TLDR Genetic differences may influence male pattern hair loss in Russians.
    The study investigated the variability of five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in male pattern hair loss patients compared to healthy individuals in Russia, focusing on different dihydrotestosterone levels. The research aimed to understand the genetic factors contributing to hair loss by examining these specific SNPs. The findings provided insights into the genetic predisposition to male pattern hair loss, although the document did not specify the number of participants involved in the study. This research contributed to the broader understanding of the genetic basis of hair loss in the Russian population.
