TLDR Certain genetic variants and pathways are linked to hair loss.
The study "Genetic variants in androgenetic alopecia: insights from scalp RNA sequencing data" investigates the genetic underpinnings of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) using RNA sequencing of scalp samples. The research identifies specific genetic variants and pathways, such as the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, that are implicated in AGA. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving hair loss, potentially guiding future therapeutic strategies. The study was conducted by a team from the Vellore Institute of Technology and involved comprehensive data analysis and interpretation. The authors declare no competing interests.
