    GlossaryAndrogen Receptor Gene Polymorphism (AR Polymorphism)

    variations in the DNA sequence of the androgen receptor gene

    Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphism refers to variations in the DNA sequence of the androgen receptor (AR) gene, which can affect how the body responds to androgens, such as testosterone. These genetic differences can influence a range of physiological traits and conditions, including hair growth patterns and susceptibility to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).
