Genetic Variants and Lifestyle Factors in Androgenetic Alopecia Patients: A Case–Control Study of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Their Contribution to Baldness Risk

Abstract excerpt

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found to be associated with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) to date, are characterized by an apparent reduced penetrance into the phenotype suggesting a role of other factors in the etiology of AGA. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a study to investigate the role of specific allelic variants in AGA controlling for nutritional and lifestyle factors. METHODS: Individual patterns of SNPs...
