May 2020 in “International journal of molecular biology” The review article examined the impact of AR gene mutations on androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a prevalent hair loss condition in both genders. The AR gene, on the X chromosome, encodes androgen receptors that respond to hormones like DHT. Mutations heighten receptor activity in hair follicles, shortening hair growth cycles and thinning hair. AGA is associated with cardiovascular disease, prostate cancer in men, and polycystic ovary syndrome in women. Treatments include minoxidil, finasteride, and surgical options, though many unproven therapies exist. The condition is more common in white men, often starting in adolescence and affecting half by age 50. Finasteride and dutasteride can promote hair growth but may cause infertility, while minoxidil stimulates growth without preventing further damage. Hair transplantation is viable for advanced cases.
