Forensic DNA Phenotyping: Male Pattern Baldness: Traditional Review

The review discusses the application of forensic DNA phenotyping, specifically single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, in predicting male pattern baldness (MPB). This technique is utilized in forensic sciences for identification, phenotype determination, and lineage and ancestry determination. The review suggests that SNP markers can provide crucial information for predicting baldness, which can be beneficial in criminal cases with no suspects or in missing person cases. It also covers the concept of forensic phenotyping, MPB phenotype and classification, SNP markers used to predict MPB, and current forensic application methods.
