Did you mean CAG Repeat Polymorphism?

GlossaryCAG Repeats (CAG Repeat Polymorphism)

repeated DNA sequences of cytosine, adenine, and guanine

CAG repeats refer to sequences of three DNA nucleotides—cytosine, adenine, and guanine—that are repeated multiple times in a row within a gene. These repeats can expand abnormally in certain genetic disorders, such as Huntington's disease, leading to the production of malfunctioning proteins and subsequent cellular damage.

in Treatment 42 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

community Topical Dutasteride - Non-Hormonal, Side Effect Free 5ARI?

in Treatments 451 upvotes 4 months ago

Topical dutasteride is suggested as a low side-effect treatment for hair loss, with a proposed dose of 0.025% 1ml/day. It is considered better than finasteride due to its even inhibition of DHT isoforms and lower systemic absorption.

community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects

in Research/Science 30 upvotes 3 months ago

Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
