October 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Six new genes linked to early hair loss were found, which also surprisingly connect to Parkinson's disease and lower fertility.
June 2012 in “Faculty Opinions – Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature” Six new risk spots for early hair loss were found, which also link to Parkinson's disease and lower fertility. Two genes, FOXA2 and HDAC4, could be new treatment targets. Hair loss might also be connected to heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and prostate cancer.
