research Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11
In their study, Tim Spector and colleagues identified a new genetic association at chromosome 20p11.22 with male-pattern baldness, confirmed by the increased risk when combined with a known androgen receptor gene variant.

3 / 1000+ resultscommunity 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 Why Is No One Talking About Chromosome 20?
Some hair loss may be linked to chromosome 20, which isn't affected by DHT blockers like finasteride. Treatments like minoxidil, microneedling, and genetic testing are suggested, but their effectiveness for this type of hair loss is uncertain.
community Genomic Sequencing for Hair Loss
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and potential mRNA therapies are discussed. There is skepticism about targeting specific genes due to the complex genetic nature of hair loss.
