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: http://hairlosstests.com/
Finasteride Response Test
Quick disclaimer: We are not a clinical company nor are we currently FDA approved, if you have concerns about any drug you should speak with your physician.
If you've been here long enough you might remember the now defunct HairDx test. Well, we're bringing it back to life due to new research coming out. If you haven't heard of HairDx let me tell you a little about the test.
Your androgen receptor, on the X chromosome, has 2 polymorphic regions. One is a polyglutamine tract also known as a CAG repeat region and the other is a polyglycine tract, also known as a GGN repeat region.
Variations in the androgen receptor can affect how your body deals with androgens. Due to published studies we also know that this variation also plays a role in finasteride response. Some studies have also come out recently describing what type of long term side affects you may suffer from due to these repeat regions. We want to make that info available to anyone who might want it.
We know most people are fine with just hoping on this treatment. Or that many people get great results and never think about it again. Who is this test for? Probably first time users who may want to know their hair re-growth potential. Not everyone will have a great response to this drug, we want to help determine that before taking it for years.
