research Alopecia Areata is associated with MICA and an extended HLA haplotype
This study reports a strong association between the MICA locus, specifically the MICA∗3-DR∗6-DQ6 haplotype, and Alopecia Areata in families.

4 / 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 IVF process on Finasteride and effects of stopping finasteride.
Concerns about finasteride affecting sperm quality and embryo abnormalities during IVF. The user plans to stop finasteride for 6 months and use minoxidil, microneedling, a red light cap, and saw palmetto shampoo to manage hair loss.
community What can finasteride do for you if you are destined to go NW6?
Finasteride can effectively slow or halt hair loss, even for those genetically predisposed to significant balding, like Norwood 6 or 7. Many users report long-term maintenance or improvement, often combining it with other treatments like Dutasteride or Minoxidil for better results.
