research Gene variants associated with acne vulgaris presentation and severity: a systematic review and meta-analysis

47 citations , April 2021 in “BMC Medical Genomics”

This systematic review and meta-analysis reported potential risk variants for acne in genes related to inflammation and sebaceous gland function, including TNF, CYP17A1, and FST, across diverse populations.

research Hypotrichosis 14: novel variants of the LSS gene in five Chinese families and insights from literature review

July 2025 in “Human Genomics”

This source reports that a comprehensive review of LSS gene variant phenotypes enhances understanding of congenital hypotrichosis 14 and could guide more precise genetic counseling and future research into disease mechanisms and potential therapies.

research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia

January 2008 in “The Year book of endocrinology”

Gene variant linked to prostate cancer, hormone levels, and hair loss.

research Gene Variant in Amish a Clue to Better Aging

January 2018 in “Genetic engineering & biotechnology news”

A genetic mutation linked to longer life and less disease was found in the Amish, and a drug is being developed to replicate these benefits.

research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia

57 citations , November 2006 in “International Journal of Cancer”

This study found that the SRD5A2 A49T A variant is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer, lower circulating 3α‐diolG levels, and a decreased risk of baldness.

community Where do you think the cure will come from?

61 upvotes 1 month ago

The conversation discusses potential future cures for hair loss, including hair cloning, gene editing, and AI, with current treatments like hair transplants, minoxidil, and finasteride mentioned. Opinions vary on where a cure might originate, with some suggesting countries like China and South Korea.

community Male pattern baldness is not cosmetic.

224 upvotes 9 months ago

Male pattern baldness is linked to health risks and should be treated medically. Finasteride is effective and should be insurance-covered.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

112 upvotes 1 year ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.

community DHT Isn’t the Only Factor in Hair Loss and That Might Be the Key to a Real Cure

373 upvotes 6 months ago

Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
