research Genetic prediction of male pattern baldness based on large independent datasets

3 citations , November 2022 in “European Journal of Human Genetics”

This study developed new genetic prediction models for male pattern baldness with improved accuracy by utilizing a large set of markers and independent datasets, making them the most reliable available for this trait.

research Genetic prediction of male pattern baldness

133 citations , February 2017 in “PLoS Genetics”

In this study, researchers used genetic data from over 52,000 men to identify over 250 genetic loci associated with severe hair loss and developed a predictive algorithm for determining hair loss risk.

research Testing the impact of trait prevalence priors in Bayesian-based genetic prediction modeling of human appearance traits

5 citations , November 2020 in “Forensic Science International Genetics”

This study found that using trait prevalence-informed priors may improve the prediction accuracy of appearance traits in Bayesian models, but their application is limited by sparse knowledge on trait prevalence.

research Genetic Prediction of Eye, Hair, and Skin Color: Forensic Applications and Challenges in Latin American Populations

October 2025 in “Genes”

This review discusses forensic DNA phenotyping and its potential applications, particularly for human identification in Latin American populations, but notes challenges due to genetic diversity and reports no new results.

research Genetic Prediction of Male Pattern Baldness

5 citations , August 2016 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

In this study, researchers identified over 250 new genetic loci linked to severe male pattern baldness, and developed a prediction algorithm that could accurately differentiate between those with severe and no hair loss.

community The meds work: my dad at 23 yo vs me at 35 yo

1791 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and oral minoxidil effectively maintain a youthful appearance and full head of hair, despite genetic predispositions to balding. The discussion also considers the impact of DHT blockers on masculinity and aging, with lifestyle choices like sunscreen use and a vegetarian diet mentioned.

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 Could male-pattern baldness have a secondary photobiological function? The Solar Window Hypothesis

11 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Male-pattern baldness might increase UVB exposure on the scalp, potentially affecting vitamin D and skeletal health. The hypothesis is debated, with some seeing it as a minor benefit in specific contexts.

community Does 1mg dutasteride get you most of the way there?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 13 upvotes 1 year ago

1 mg dutasteride may be sufficient for most people, with higher doses showing diminishing returns. Combining dutasteride with minoxidil and ketoconazole can enhance results, but oral minoxidil may cause side effects.

community M25: Getting way too many DMs, so let’s do this here! AMA about Male Pattern Baldness, Hair Loss, and Products (100% Science-Backed )

1951 upvotes 5 months ago

Finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil are discussed as treatments for male pattern baldness. Finasteride and dutasteride are effective DHT blockers, while minoxidil is necessary for regrowth but must be used consistently.

learn Vitamin B1

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.
