Future Directions: Gene Polymorphism Diagnostics Relevant to Hair

摘要: Hair disorders related to ageing, such as ­androgenetic alopecia and hair graying, are controlled, at least in part, by genes. The aetiology of is complex, with many interacting genes likely contribute the risk. action these may also be influenced environment. At present, we know very little about complex genetic risk profiles; for androgenetic alopecia, only one gene has been identified. This lack understanding a barrier translation research findings into patient care. However, more identified, potential predict take preventive action, accurately diagnose conditions, develop targeted treatment strategies apply personalised based on an individual’s underlying make-up.
