I agree. And while I know this is the future treatments sub, finding the underlying mechanisms behind male pattern baldness will help us find future treatments. We hate that finasteride and minoxidil are the best treatments we have for regrowth right now. Ideally that's what we want to do long term, in the mean time we...

I have worked in genetics or done genetic research for the last 6 or so years. Admittedly while I have certainly read sparingly about siRNAs I only have heard about them in real life as a research tool. Their clinical utility has not really come to fruition. When I moved over to the clinical...

InBeforeTheCure is probably rightish here, although I don't think it's quite as high as you think. This latest study only found 250 variants that had association with hair loss, and some were MUCH more common than others...

1. Agree to disagree. The more information you have to make a decision the better your decision will most likely be. This is another TOOL to help discover balding as early as possible. Just like checking hair line pictures over time, this will help make decisions. It's not a yes or no just...

Currently our finasteride response test is available, re-analysis of 23andme data should be up in a week or two. Hey Dogma, Yes of course you can take the test even though you are already on finasteride. Genetics is super neat because it is like the blueprint to your body, your genetics will...

That would be the nuclear option although you're causing all kinds of conundrums by doing that kind of thing. But we're trying to do many things by figuring out how baldness is passed on in families. 1. For young kids coming up. You see it all the time, the questions go "Am I balding?". Having...

At least they both we're balding, then all thier future generations wouldn't stand a chance :D

This is exactly what we're trying to determine with our family history study. Unfortunately male pattern baldness is a highly polygenic trait, meaning many genes are involved. We know that the androgen receptor and genes affecting the androgen receptor do play a large part in male pattern...

Hey guys, I posted a few months back wondering if there was any interest in a Finasteride response test with some positive reponse. I've had enough time to create the test and gotten a lab to run it. Also trying to build out more genetic testing for hair loss. You can check out our site here...

Hey All, This is a long spiel, if you don’t like feel like reading hit up our site www.hairlosstests.com. Otherwise read on. In this life we can become intimately tied to the problems we have ourselves. It’s why we’re all on this message board right now, to share our hair loss problem with...

It would be a bit strange for you to be a sufferer of male pattern baldness with no male pattern baldness in your extended family, but not unheard of. It has a strong hereditary component. Is it temple recession or the middle of your hair line? It may be easier if you post pictures. Besides watching it closely...

Hey Everyone, I'm looking for something pretty specific so I thought I'd start out here. I'm in need of someone who has a strong background in app and/or web development AND is pretty freaking passionate about stopping hair loss. You'll also need some free time to work on a project. If you of...

Yeah, if your mom is balding from androgens you're pretty much fucked. In kids who lost hair, 83% percent of them had familial hair loss. Here's the study: http://www.mediskin.cn/uploadfiles/file/20130723/20130723104022_9832.pdf "Of the 22 boys, six denied a family history of hair loss, four...

As posted above hair loss genetics are VERY complicated. Many of these genes are on the X chromosomes but many are also not. In fact if you have a bald father you are twice as likely to be bald versus someone whose dad has hair. This is from an old study, but it shows family relationships and...
