TLDR Gene differences found in hair follicles linked to male baldness.
This study aimed to identify genes and pathways relevant to male androgenetic alopecia (AGA) by comparing gene expression profiles between hair follicles that are prone to AGA and those that are not. The study found differentially expressed microRNAs and mRNAs between frontal and occipital hair follicles, and identified pathways that are potentially relevant to AGA, such as "ceramide biosynthesis" and "GADD45 signaling." The study also identified candidate genes, such as the androgen receptor, WNT3, and RORA, that may contribute to AGA. Integration of gene expression data with genetic association data led to the identification of seven genomic regions, including the gene EPHB1, that may be involved in AGA pathogenesis.
