    GlossaryHair Loss Gene

    genetic variations linked to increased risk of hair loss

    The term "Hair Loss Gene" refers to specific genetic variations that are associated with an increased risk of hair loss conditions, such as androgenetic alopecia (commonly known as male or female pattern baldness). One well-known gene linked to hair loss is the AR gene, which affects androgen receptor activity and can influence hair follicle sensitivity to hormones like dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Understanding these genetic factors can help in diagnosing and developing targeted treatments for hair loss.
