Investigation of four novel male androgenetic alopecia susceptibility loci: no association with female pattern hair loss
May 2014
in “Archives of Dermatological Research”
TLDR No link found between new male baldness genes and female hair loss.
This study investigated the association between four newly identified male androgenetic alopecia susceptibility loci and female pattern hair loss (FPHL). The study found no significant association between the genotyped variants and FPHL, providing no support for the hypothesis that the novel AGA loci influence susceptibility to FPHL. The study also discussed the incomplete understanding of the etiology of FPHL and the hypothesis of a shared genetic background between FPHL and AGA.
