research An X-Linked Gene Involved in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Lesson to Be Learned from Adrenoleukodystrophy

24 citations , January 2000 in “Dermatology”

This study found that men with adrenomyeloneuropathy often experience diffuse hair loss and severe male-pattern baldness, potentially due to the X-linked ALD mutation's role in androgenetic alopecia's genetic spectrum.

research A novel nonsense mutation in the STS gene in a Pakistani family with X-linked recessive ichthyosis: including a very rare case of two homozygous female patients

6 citations , January 2020 in “BMC Medical Genetics”

In this study, researchers identified a novel STS gene (c.287G > A; p.W96*) mutation in Pakistani individuals with X-linked ichthyosis, expanding the understanding of its genetic causes and aiding in genetic counseling.

research Position effect on FGF13 associated with X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis

44 citations , April 2013 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

This study found a significant association between reduced FGF13 levels and X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis, suggesting FGF13's potential role in hair follicle growth and the hair cycle.

research Bloch-Sulzberger Syndrome: A Rare X-Linked Dominant Genetic Disorder in a Newborn

1 citations , November 2023 in “Cureus”

This study highlights a case of a 12-day-old female with Bloch-Sulzberger Syndrome, underscoring the need for early diagnosis based on skin symptoms to manage potential complications in other organs effectively.

research An unusual presentation of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy

2 citations , November 2015 in “Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports”

This case report describes a 57-year-old man's late diagnosis of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, highlighting the need to consider this condition in patients with non-autoimmune primary adrenal insufficiency and neurological issues.

community Rate my MPB Genetics: Can I run Primobolan/Masteron? (Detailed MyHeritage DNA Data Included)

in General 262 upvotes 6 months ago

The user is using testosterone and finasteride to prevent hair loss and is considering adding Primobolan or Masteron, which are DHT-derivatives. They are seeking advice on their genetic risk for male pattern baldness and whether they can safely use these compounds without significant hair loss.

community Popular hair loss drug linked to higher suicide risk: compared to non-users, finasteride (Proscar/ Propecia) users have a markedly increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Over 30 years of observation, 19,320 suicides were expected.

494 upvotes 11 months ago

Finasteride users may have an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, though some attribute these issues to hair loss itself. The link between finasteride and mental health effects is debated, with varying user experiences.

community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL

413 upvotes 1 year ago

Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

140 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
