Scientists have found the genes responsible for hair loss in men

Scientists have genes that increase sevenfold found the risk of hair loss in men, reports the BBC. An international team of researchers conducted a study of 5,000 men who were present, among whom those who are faced with hair loss, and those who have had no such problems were. Participants were analyzed DNA. As a result, the experts have two locations in the human genome, which can be found for hair loss in men. Based on the data, presenting seven men both genetic variants. The study was published in the journal Nature Genetics. Ability to predict hair loss at an early stage could increase the effectiveness of preventive treatment, experts say. In the first phase of the study, researchers examined the gene in 500 men with the problem of hair loss and 500 men who do not suffer from hair loss. Experts from the University of Bradford is a genetic difference in the two regions. A body was found in the gene for the androgen receptor, which was previously associated with hair loss in men. Another location was. On chromosome 20 in the vicinity of genes that were not known Chromosome 20 can be inherited from either the mother or the father. But women are much less likely to have the disorder. Be determined by the study in advance and prevent hair loss, experts say.
