August 2013 in “PLOS ONE” 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.

February 2009 in “Clinical Genetics” This study identified new genetic variants on chromosome 20p11 associated with male pattern baldness.
April 2012 in “Encyclopedia of Life Sciences” This review discusses recent genome-wide association studies identifying novel candidate genes for various forms of alopecia, providing insights into their pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms, but reports no new clinical results.
