research Male-pattern baldness susceptibility locus at 20p11

111 citations , October 2008 in “Nature Genetics”

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.

Role of Polymorphism of the Androgen Receptor Gene and Non-Random X Chromosome Inactivation in the Genesis of Androgenic Alopecia in Women of Childbearing Potential

research Role of polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene and non-random X chromosome inactivation in the genesis of androgenic alopecia in women of childbearing potential

April 2011 in “Vestnik dermatologii i venerologii”

This study found an association between 'short' CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene and increased non-random X chromosome inactivation in women with androgenic alopecia.

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.

community Why Is No One Talking About Chromosome 20?

in Chat 32 upvotes 1 year ago

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.
