December 2018 in “Nature Communications” This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.
June 2023 in “medRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that nociplastic type pain is a complex and heritable trait, with significant genetic overlap with multisite chronic pain and some connection to rheumatoid arthritis and a neuropathic pain phenotype.
