How it Works
Key Features of the Alopecia DNA Test
What is Alopecia ?
Androgenetic alopecia is a genetic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. The pattern of hair loss varies between men and women, but both sexes share a common cause: sensitivity to male hormones. Dihydrotestosterone is the main culprit in androgenetic alopecia. This hormone attacks hair follicles, weakening them and shortening their life cycle.
Additional aspects to consider
Imagine that your genes are like a map of your body. Some people have a map that makes them more prone to hair loss, while others have a map that protects them. Genetic testing looks at specific points on this map (the genes) to see if you have the “instructions” that make you more vulnerable to balding.
* Personalization: Each person is unique and the combination of genetic variants is different. Therefore, test results are personalized and can help design a specific treatment plan.
* Prevention: Knowing your genetic predisposition allows you to take preventive measures and start treatment early, which can help slow or stop hair loss.
* Limitations: Genetics is not the only factor that influences hair loss. Other factors such as diet, stress, certain diseases and medication use can also play a role.
Implications
Unfavorable genetic variants can make your hair more fragile, cause hair follicles to shrink faster or make your scalp more sensitive to external factors such as stress or pollution. In contrast, favorable variants can help keep your hair stronger, prolong the life cycle of the follicles and protect your scalp.
For example, if you have an unfavorable variant in the androgen receptor gene, your scalp will be more sensitive to the hormone that causes hair loss. This is like having a bigger door for a thief (the hormone) to get in.
