research Genetic Variation in the Human Androgen Receptor Gene Is the Major Determinant of Common Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia

195 citations , June 2005 in “American Journal of Human Genetics”

Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.

research Genetic Variation at the MC1R Locus and the Time since Loss of Human Body Hair

152 citations , January 2004 in “Current anthropology”

Humans lost body hair relatively recently in evolution.

research Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness

58 citations , December 2018 in “Nature Communications”

This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.

research Genetic variation in the ovine KAP22-1 gene and its effect on wool traits in Egyptian sheep

3 citations , August 2022 in “Archives animal breeding/Archiv für Tierzucht”

This study found that specific genetic variants of the KAP22-1 gene in Egyptian sheep breeds were significantly associated with wool traits like crimp, staple length, kemp score, and greasy color grade, suggesting their potential use in breeding programs.

research Genetic variations associated with response to dutasteride in the treatment of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia

3 citations , September 2019 in “PLOS ONE”

In this study, the authors identified the DHRS9 SNP rs72623193 as most significantly associated with response to dutasteride in treating male pattern hair loss, with additional variants potentially contributing.

community Genetic variations associated with response to Dutasteride. Why is it never mentioned?

in Research/Science 26 upvotes 1 year ago

Genetic variations influence how people respond to dutasteride for hair loss, with some benefiting more from finasteride. Dutasteride is effective for most, but genetic differences may cause it to be less effective for some.

community Switched from finasteride to dutasteride - 2 month update

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 2 years ago

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 What is preventing GT20029 from being the cure to androgenetic hair loss?

10 upvotes 1 year ago

GT20029 is discussed as a potential treatment for androgenetic hair loss by targeting androgen receptors, unlike finasteride which reduces DHT broadly. Concerns include its effectiveness, genetic variations in androgen receptors, and availability, with some skepticism about its potential as a true alternative.

community Just curious why there is so much variation in price of finasteride?

2 upvotes 8 months ago

The conversation discusses the price variation of finasteride in India, with examples from different brands. The user seeks advice on choosing a cost-effective yet effective option.

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.

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

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.
