    GlossaryGenetic Loci for Patterned Hair Loss Susceptibility (GLPLS)

    specific gene locations linked to increased risk of hair loss

    Genetic loci for patterned hair loss susceptibility refer to specific locations on genes that are associated with an increased risk of developing patterned hair loss, such as male or female pattern baldness. These loci contain variations in DNA that can influence how likely a person is to experience hair thinning or loss, often inherited from their parents. Understanding these genetic markers helps researchers and medical professionals identify individuals at higher risk and develop targeted treatments.

      The conversation humorously suggests that the hair loss industry, referred to as "Big Bald," deliberately delays a cure to profit from ongoing treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. Participants debate whether a cure would be more profitable than current treatments, with some suggesting that the industry prefers continuous treatments for sustained profit.
