Baldness is a general term that describes unwanted hair loss. When the condition stems from genetic inheritance, it is called androgenetic alopecia. At one time, scientists believed that inherited baldness came from one particular side of your family tree. They now believe that you can inherit baldness from either side of your family.
Inherited Hair Loss Basics
Androgenetic alopecia is also known as
male or female pattern baldness. In men, the condition causes a loss of
the front hairline and the eventual development of a horseshoe-shaped
pattern in the remaining hair on the scalp. If you have female pattern
baldness, you typically will not lose your front hairline. Rather, you
will experience a thinning of hair that begins at the crown of your head
and eventually progresses throughout your scalp. Unlike men, women with
inherited baldness do not usually go completely bald.
The AR Gene
Inherited baldness is substantially
determined by the actions of a gene called the AR gene, according to
U.S. National Library of Medicine's Genetics Home Reference. This gene
helps determine how your hair follicles respond to the presence of a
hormone called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. Your body creates DHT in
your scalp when the male hormone testosterone -- which is found in both
men and women -- interacts with an enzyme called Type 2 5-alpha
reductase, the American Hair Loss Association reports. Once formed, DHT
alters the size of your hair follicles and decreases the viability of
your hair strands. Individuals with certain changes in their AR genes
have an increased susceptibility to DHT's damaging effects.
