Glossary Autosomal Dominant Disorder

one mutated gene from either parent causes the condition

An Autosomal Dominant Disorder is a genetic condition where only one copy of a mutated gene, inherited from either parent, is sufficient to cause the disorder. This means that if one parent has the disorder, there is a 50% chance that their child will inherit the condition. Examples include Huntington's disease and Marfan syndrome.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

140 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.

community DUPA, Non Responders and Connective Tissue Disorders

8 upvotes 1 year ago

A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.

community AGA/male pattern baldness and loss of hair in the past 6months

A 25-year-old male experienced significant hair loss due to telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia. He began using finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamins, seeing some regrowth but remains worried about hair density.

community Hereditary hair loss want your advice

11 upvotes 3 days ago

Minoxidil and finasteride/dutasteride are recommended for treating hereditary hair loss, with vitamin D as a supplement if deficient. The suggested treatment plan from the clinic is considered expensive and unnecessary, with a second opinion advised.

community Chromosome 20’s balding effects and why fin likely isn’t working for some.

in Treatment 96 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 has been studied only in men with androgenetic alopecia, in two Phase 1 studies and one 16-week Phase 2 trial. There is no research on it in women or in any other type of hair loss.
What is TDM-105795, and why is it being studied as a potential product for hair loss and hair growth support? TDM-105795 is an experimental topical drug that has been tested only in men with androgenetic alopecia, in two Phase 1 studies and one 16-week Phase 2 trial of 71 men. It is not approved, and no peer-reviewed trial results have been published.
How does TDM-105795 differ from more established hair loss ingredients when included in experimental or emerging treatments? TDM-105795 is an experimental topical drug described as a thyroid-receptor agonist, unlike minoxidil or finasteride. It has one 16-week Phase 2 trial in 71 men, with no statistical test or peer-reviewed results published and no head-to-head comparison.
