Hair Loss: Is it Moms Fault? Dads Fault? Something Else?

So, you are only in your mid-twenties to early thirties and youve noticed that youre beginning
to lose hair. First and foremost gentlemen, remember that everyone naturally and routinely loses
hair. Just because your hair brush may look a little congested at the moment, doesnt necessarily
mean that youre going bald. Second, if you notice your hair is falling out in irregular clumps,
you may be experiencing some form of stress or another medical condition. If this is the case,
please consult your doctors office. Third, it may be that indeed you are experiencing some form
of hair loss. If this is the case, you may want to consult a professional hair restoration facility like
Hans Wiemann.
Youve determined that you are suffering some form of hair loss. Who, or what, is at fault?
Mothers genes? Fathers genes? An environmental factor? Recent studies have found that the
link between androgenetic alopecia, more commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness (MPB)
and the genetics inherited from your mother may be the stuff of myth. According to recent
studies from the Aderans Research Institute, MPB is believed to be the interplay of several
different genetic, hormonal and environmental factors.
The symptoms of MPB can begin as early as age 20. Typically, the process begins with a
receding hairline and slowly spreads across the crown. Normally, each strand of hair grows for
roughly two to six years. After a resting period, the hair falls out and is replaced with a new
strand. With MPB, the hair follicle becomes smaller. The hair grows shorter and finer until
eventually the follicle no longer grows hair. For most men, the entire process of going bald takes
15 to 25 years. That said, some men go bald in five years or less depending on the severity of
their hair loss.

Is Mom to Blame?
It has been widely believed that hair loss is passed down from your mothers genes. This is
neither correct nor incorrect. While its true that a key gene for baldness lies on the X
chromosome, which is inherited from your mother, it is not the only genetic factor at work. Men
with bald or balding fathers have an increased chance of experiencing baldness when compared
to men whose fathers have a full head of hair.
There are only a small number of scientific studies in regarding the genetics of MPB and there is
only a single known family study on MPB. This study of patterns of hair growth in 22 families
concluded that baldness was an autosomal dominant phenotype in men and an autosomal
recessive phenotype in women. However, these results are questionable due to the lack of details
regarding examination methods and sampling errors in this study, which was published in 1916.
What is known is that there are often times when an accelerated rate of progression of MPB will
correlate with another event such as a change in medication or the progression of another
medical disorder.

Is Dad to Blame?

A study that examined 410 men who were experiencing early onset baldness found evidence of a
genetic influence from their fathers side in only 236 cases. The hair loss similarities between
father and son have been observed in another study. The frequency of MPB in brothers of men
having bald fathers was 66 percent compared to 46 percent with brothers of men with unaffected
fathers. Further evidence against a single gene being responsible for MPB is the observation that
only 33 percent of the fathers of 18 women suffering from baldness also had MPB. This finding
suggests that other autosomal genes play an important role in MPB.

Could it be something else?

A study that involved 250 men between the ages of 35 and 65 found that those with blood
pressure levels above 120 over 80 may have two times the risk of hair loss compared to those
without.
