This study identified histologic lesions and a defect in adhesion molecules causing hair loss in mice with the bal mutation, linked to a mutation in the desmoglein 3 gene.
research The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Evolutionary Paradox: a Genome-Wide Association Studies–Based, in silico, Evolutionary Explanation
This study suggests that variations in PCOS phenotypes observed across different ethnic groups may be due to a genetic gradient resulting from historical human migrations and genetic drift.
research Androgenetic alopecia and polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene (SNP rs6152) in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer
In this study, researchers found that androgen receptor gene polymorphism is associated with higher androgenetic alopecia grades and PSA levels in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, but not with prostate cancer.
research Association of Human Beta – Defensin 1 Gene Polymorphisms with Alopecia Areata Patients
This study found that DEFB1 polymorphisms, specifically the rs1800972 CG and GG genotypes, may predict susceptibility to and severity of alopecia areata.

5 / 11 resultscommunity Tried my best to learn the genetics of male pattern balding
Male pattern balding is influenced by genetic mutations on several chromosomes, affecting DHT sensitivity, hair pattern, and follicle resilience. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
community The meds work: my dad at 23 yo vs me at 35 yo
Finasteride and oral minoxidil effectively maintain a youthful appearance and full head of hair, despite genetic predispositions to balding. The discussion also considers the impact of DHT blockers on masculinity and aging, with lifestyle choices like sunscreen use and a vegetarian diet mentioned.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
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.
community 36 year old. 18month moxidil and fin.
A 36-year-old has been using 1mg oral finasteride daily and minoxidil foam twice daily for 18 months, experiencing significant hair regrowth with no side effects. Initial shedding occurred, but noticeable improvements began around 11 months, with major changes by 16 months.
