Where this position leads

Condition: Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness)

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with lower androgen receptor gene activity — associated with a lower population-level likelihood of early androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) in men.

A/G Intermediate — one copy of each allele.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with higher androgen receptor gene activity — associated with a higher population-level likelihood of early androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) in men. This is one of many genes that contribute; family history and other genes matter too.
