research A Genetic Test for Androgenetic Alopecia: Polymorphisms in the Androgen Receptor Gene Provide a Genetic Screening Test for Androgenetic Alopecia and Earlier Medical Intervention
A genetic test can identify people at risk of male pattern baldness early, allowing for quicker treatment.
research Evidence of Increased DNA Methylation of the Androgen Receptor Gene in Occipital Hair Follicles from Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with hair loss have more DNA changes in back-of-head hair follicles, possibly protecting them from thinning.
research Update on the Pathogenesis, Genetics, and Medical Treatment of Patterned Hair Loss
New genetic insights have improved understanding of hair loss, leading to a new test and treatments, but more research is needed on the test and laser comb effectiveness.
research Polymorphic CAG Repeat Numbers in the Androgen Receptor Gene of Female Pattern Hair Loss Patients
Longer CAG repeats in gene linked to more severe hair loss in females.
research Evaluation of Androgen Receptor Gene as a Candidate Gene in Female Androgenetic Alopecia
AR gene not major factor in female hair loss; different from male hair loss.

5 / 680 resultscommunity Hair loss causes are still a myth.
The conversation discusses the complexity of hair loss causes, suggesting that DHT sensitivity alone doesn't fully explain it. Treatments mentioned include finasteride and dutasteride.
community My son is 2 and already has my hairline. Is it too late for fin?
A user jokes about their 2-year-old son having their hairline and asks if it's too late for finasteride. Replies include humorous suggestions like growing a beard, working out, and hair transplants.
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 3 months progress!! Fin + Min + Derma roller + Nizoral Shampoo.
The post discusses a user's successful hair regrowth after 3 months using 1 mg oral finasteride, oral minoxidil, weekly 1.5mm derma rolling, and Nizoral shampoo every other day, with no side effects. The conversation includes various responses, questions about the user's ethnicity and previous scalp condition, and suggestions for topical treatments.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
