DNA markers can help predict male pattern baldness, useful in criminal and missing person cases.
research DNA Phenotyping: Current Application in Forensic Science
DNA phenotyping helps predict physical traits from DNA with varying accuracy and requires careful ethical and legal handling.
research Forensic DNA Phenotyping
Forensic DNA Phenotyping accurately predicts physical traits and is used in investigations, but needs more diverse population data for confirmation.

The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss treatment, but experienced increased libido, itchy scalp, and accelerated hair loss. Another user suggested that genetic variations might cause dutasteride to be less effective and recommended checking for specific genetic markers.
community Is it possible to transplant mice skin into human body?
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.
community Male pattern baldness is not cosmetic.
Male pattern baldness is linked to health risks and should be treated medically. Finasteride is effective and should be insurance-covered.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
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.
