research Identification of novel mutation in theHRgene responsible for atrichia with papular lesions in a Pakistani family
Researchers found a new mutation in the HR gene causing hair loss and skin bumps in a Pakistani family.
research A new locus for hereditary hypotrichosis simplex maps to chromosome 13q12.12∼12.3 in a Chinese family
A new genetic area linked to a rare hair loss condition was found on chromosome 13 in a Chinese family.
research Whole-genome SNP genotyping mapped a novel locus for hereditary hypotrichosis on chromosome 2q31.1–q32.2
Researchers found a new area on chromosome 2 linked to a genetic hair loss condition.
research Combinatorial expression of cell cycle regulators is more suitable for immortalization than oncogenic methods in dermal papilla cells

5 / 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 Hair loss and ethnicity - Caucasian men the most likely to experience hair loss
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
community Is there any chance of improvement?
A 19-year-old experiencing severe hair loss since 16 is using a treatment regimen of 5% minoxidil, 0.1% finasteride topical solution, 3% procapil hair serum, and 0.5 mg dutasteride daily. They are concerned about the effectiveness and potential shedding phase, with advice suggesting noticeable changes in 6 to 8 months.
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.
