Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss related to DHT(Dihydrotestosterone) is directly determined by how sensitive you are to androgens. Your sensitivity is determined by triplet repeat mutations in the androgen receptor gene on the x chromosome. It’s the downstream effects caused by DHT binding to the androgen receptor that causes hair loss so a mutation that causes a defective androgen receptor gene is cumulative throughout the generations and each following generation will potentially have MPB that is worse than the previous generation.

Hair loss is multifactorial and stem cells play a much more important role in AGA (male pattern) than previously thought, especially since the findings of Garza et al, 2011. This study essentially demonstrated faulty scalp stem cells result in insufficient quantities of progenitor cells that then allow the 5DHT to begin the miniaturizing of hairs genetically sensitive to 5DHT.
