    TLDR Forensic DNA phenotyping can predict physical traits from DNA but faces challenges in knowledge and ethics.
    Forensic DNA phenotyping (FDP) using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a promising technique for predicting an individual's externally visible characteristics (EVCs) such as eye, hair, and skin color from DNA samples. This method is gaining traction in forensic science as it aids in criminal investigations and individual identification. However, its routine implementation is hindered by incomplete genetic understanding of phenotypes and ethical, social, and legal challenges in some countries. Despite these barriers, FDP shows potential as a valuable tool in forensic investigations.

Some users noted no change or slight improvement, while others suggested the possibility of Dutasteride causing issues.
