Genetics and Minoxidil

I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the limited response or effectiveness of minoxidil in some users (I thinks its only effective for 60% of the people who try it)? Is this for genetic reasons or something completely different?

I am curious to know because my dad, from whom I inherit my not-so-excellent follicular makeup, said that he responded quite well to minoxidil back in the early 90's. In the end he threw in the towel because of the hassle of it all and since then has gradually stabilized to around a nw4-5.

I figure that if it is a genetic factor than there would be a good a chance that i'd respond well.
