Speculation: What do male pattern baldness sufferers have in common?

[sciencedude]

Has there been any research about what cause vertex hair cells to become hypersensitive to androgens?

Something I haven't heard anyone mention before is the following. During puberty besides a surge in testoterone, there is also a surge in estrogen. Could the estrogen cause vertex hair cells to become hypersensitive to androgens? A possible pattern would be that men ages in their late teens would have a stronger temporary gynecomastia and these men would have more aggressive hairlos in their 20's and 30's.

there might definitely be a strong link between puberty and male pattern baldness manifestation straight after puberty.

Some ways to find out will be people who have male pattern baldness but do not adhere to the the genetic profile of family members, in short men wth male pattern baldness even though there arent any family members suffering from it or anything whch does not tally with the current genetic inheritance theories

If the complete set of genes can be identified in male pattern baldness, it wlllead to more dicoveries such as the one mentioned above.
