Can hairDX test lead to Hair loss cure?
Now that there is a genetic test to predict your hair loss, is it possible to simply wipe out this gene and thus put a halt to hair loss?
The genetic test is a test for a marker on the X chromosome that predicts hair loss. We do not know if this gene has anything to do with the cause of hair loss. Hair loss is multifactorial. This is probably why you see a few people who respond favorably to certain topical or oral medications while others don’t seem to respond at all. It is more probable that hair loss results from the interaction of multiple genes. It remain unknown what would happen should we alter a single gene. The consequences might actually be negative.
