    TLDR Certain genes and X chromosome patterns may significantly contribute to the development of hair loss.
    The study conducted 12 years ago explored the connection between the polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and non-random X chromosome inactivation in the onset of androgenic alopecia. The researchers discovered a link between the polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene, particularly the CAG repeat length in exon 1, and androgen-dependent diseases such as alopecia. This indicates that genetic factors and X chromosome inactivation patterns could have a substantial role in the development of androgenic alopecia.

      in Research/Science  17 upvotes 1 week ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  16 upvotes 1 month ago
      The conversation discusses reducing scalp DHT to prevent hair loss, with a focus on using dutasteride, finasteride, and other treatments like RU58841 and minoxidil. It highlights the challenges of managing hair loss while on high testosterone levels, suggesting that dutasteride may be more effective than finasteride in such cases.
