PAIR OF GENES THAT MAY HELP TO CURE BALDNESS

13 Oct 2008, by haircentre in HAIR LOSS SCIENCE

A CURE for baldness is one step closer after scientists found two genes that dramatically increase the chance of hair loss in men.

Men who have both genes are  seven times more likely to go bald – and one in seven men carries the unfortunate combination.

It is one cause of male-pattern baldness, in which hair thins from the temples in an M shape.

One in three men loses hair in this way by the age of 45, and studies have found eight in 10 cases are hereditary.

Experts knew a genetic variant responsible for balding is found on the X chromosome, meaning the risk is inherited from the mother’s side of the family.
