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 Genetic and other epidemiological risk factors of infants and children with hypospadias: a case control study
This study found that hypospadias in male children is significantly associated with genetic polymorphisms in the Steroid 5 alpha reductase type 2 gene, higher parental age, consanguinity, rural residence, and preterm labor, with maternal age and rural residence being the strongest independent predictors.
research Genetic Variants at 20p11 Confer Risk to Androgenetic Alopecia in the Chinese Han Population
This study validated that the 20p11 genetic locus is associated with increased risk of androgenic alopecia in the Chinese Han population, suggesting shared genetic factors between Chinese and European populations.
research Genetic predictors of testosterone and their associations with cardiovascular disease and risk factors: A Mendelian randomization investigation
This study found associations between genetic predictors of increased testosterone and cardiovascular risk factors, but the implications for testosterone supplementation are unclear due to uncertainties in genetic variant functions.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Weight loss drugs linked to increased risk of hair loss, researchers say
Weight loss drugs may increase the risk of hair loss, but this is often temporary and influenced by genetics. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 are mentioned, with varying effectiveness depending on individual genetic sensitivity to DHT.
community 1 Month on Dutasteride (0.5mg) + Supplements – Seeing Thickness But No New Hairs Yet. Is That Normal?
A 31-year-old woman is using Dutasteride (0.5mg daily) and supplements like a multivitamin, Herbadal, pumpkin seed oil, and vitamin D for genetic hair loss, noticing thicker hair but no new growth after one month. She is considering adding minoxidil and is aware of Dutasteride's risks, especially regarding pregnancy.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community Let’s be real, does infrequent smoking really accelerate MPB and/or cause health issues?
Smoking infrequently is unlikely to significantly impact hair loss or health, especially when using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. Genetics play a larger role in hair loss, and low smoking frequency is not considered a major risk.
community Genetics are so weird and unpredictable
The user experienced male pattern baldness starting at 18, tried finasteride with no success, and switched to dutasteride, which halted hair loss. Minoxidil had no effect for them, while their brother, who didn't use AR inhibitors, maintained a juvenile hairline and successfully grew a beard with minoxidil, highlighting the unpredictable nature of genetics in hair loss and treatment response.

6 / 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.
