Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aetiology of female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is largely unknown. However, it is hypothesized that FPHL and male pattern baldness (AGA) share common susceptibility alleles. The two major susceptibility loci for AGA are the androgen receptor (AR)/ectodysplasin A2 receptor (EDA2R) lo...
