research Androgenetic alopecia: Identification of four genetic risk loci and evidence for the contribution of WNT signaling to its etiology
This study aimed to identify unknown genetic risk loci associated with androgenetic alopecia by examining SNPs at 12 genomic loci but did not find complete heritable risk factors.
research Investigating the Genetic Association of Selected Candidate Loci with Alopecia Areata Susceptibility in Jordanian Patients
This study examined genetic risk factors for alopecia areata in the Jordanian population but found no significant association between the 21 targeted risk loci and the condition, emphasizing variability in genetic predisposition across ethnic groups and potential non-genetic triggers.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Identification of Four Genetic Risk Loci and Evidence for the Contribution of WNT Signaling to Its Etiology
Four genetic risk spots found for hair loss, with WNT signaling involved and a link to curly hair.
research Investigation of the male pattern baldness major genetic susceptibility loci AR/EDA2R and 20p11 in female pattern hair loss
This study suggests that the AR/EDA2R locus may contribute to early-onset female pattern hair loss, but no association was found with the 20p11 locus.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Genomic Sequencing for Hair Loss
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and potential mRNA therapies are discussed. There is skepticism about targeting specific genes due to the complex genetic nature of hair loss.
community Hair loss research is a money grab
Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.
community I don’t think my hair loss is caused by DHT – quitting finasteride after 3 months (1 mg). Need opinions
The user plans to stop finasteride after three months, believing hair loss isn't due to DHT, and will continue with oral minoxidil, microneedling, and ketoconazole shampoo. They suspect stress and poor nutrition are the main causes and seek opinions on DHT blockers' effectiveness.
community Dermatologist told me to quit fin after turning 40
A dermatologist advised a patient to stop taking finasteride (fin) after turning 40 due to potential risk of aggressive prostate cancer. The patient and others in the conversation debated this advice, discussing the relationship between finasteride, prostate cancer, and hair loss, and considering alternatives like topical finasteride.
community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

1 / 801 results- Thinning hair over time? It might not just be genetics: lack of B1 and B2 could be silently working against you. There is no verified human trial showing that B1 or B2 deficiency causes thinning hair or that correcting it regrows hair; a 2019 review concludes the role of micronutrients in hair loss is real but unclear and still needs controlled trials.
