This study kind of looks promising although it has short comings. I think there would be great value in being able to predict male pattern baldness, like getting on finasteride earlier. Although the study is for forensic purposes I wonder if there would be value in a test available Evaluation of DNA Variants Associated...

Obviously they can't be deactivated but if we really want to talk about the genes that play a role, let's do that. Clearly, the Androgren receptor located on the X Chromosome is probably the biggest player (and as previously mentioned, sensitivity may be correlated to CAG repeats in the...
