Genetic Hair Loss in Men: Could You Be Affected Because of your Mom's Genes?

Last updated 10 months ago

While some hair loss may be caused by medical conditions or taking certain medications, the leading cause of hair loss in men is linked to genetics. This video takes a closer look at genetic hair loss in men.

Male pattern baldness is polygenic, meaning that it comes from both the mother and father’s genes. Men whose mothers carry a gene known as the autosomal antigen receptor gene are considered a high risk variant and may be at a 70 percent risk for going bald. You can learn how your hair loss specialist can test for this antigen receptor by watching the full clip.
