Certain genetic markers on chromosome 20 are linked to hair loss in the Han Chinese from Yunnan.

research Characterization of X-Linked SNP Genotypic Variation in Globally Distributed Human Populations
The research concluded that selection significantly shaped the genetic variation of the X chromosome, with certain regions affected by past selective events.

research Acromegaloidism With Normal Growth Hormone Secretion Associated With X-Tetrasomy
A woman with acromegaloidism and normal growth hormone levels had a rare X-Tetrasomy, suggesting a need to study X-chromosome genes for their role in growth and facial development.

5 / 35 resultscommunity Why is nobody studying the difference between donor and balding hair?
The conversation discusses why the difference between donor and balding hair isn't studied more to find a cure for hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community I hate how my hair loss changed me.
A man's experience with hair loss, which has caused him to lose an important part of his identity, and the treatments he is using to try and combat it. Others have joined in the conversation to share their own experiences and offer support.
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 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 I want to sacrifice my hair in the name of science
The conversation discusses various theories of hair loss, including DHT sensitivity and genetic factors, with the user willing to use themselves for research due to having a hair loss gene but different hair loss patterns compared to their brothers. Specific treatments were not mentioned in the provided text.
