The test takes into account the following genetic variants, known to influence hair loss:
- Androgen Receptor (AR) The test evaluates the AR (Androgen Receptor) gene whose unfavourable variant is closely associated with androgenetic alopecia, especially in men but also in women.
- Ectodysplasin A2 receptor (EDA2R) The test evaluates the EDA2R (Ectodisplasin A2 Receptor) gene, which is involved in the development of hair follicles, sweat glands and epidermal structures
- Antioxidant capacity (SOD2) The test evaluates the genetic variant involving the SOD2 (Superoxide Dismutase 2) gene that is associated with reduced antioxidant capacity, with direct implications for hair health and the management of alopecia
- Chromosome locus 20p11.22 The test evaluates the genetic variant of the chromosome 20p11.22 locus, which is one of the most significant associated with androgenetic alopecia, especially in men
Benefits of Genetic Testing for Hair Loss:
- Personalized Care: The test helps doctors create a plan that’s just right for you, based on your genes.
- Catch It Early: It can show if you’re at risk for hair loss before it becomes a bigger issue.
- Find the Cause: It helps you understand why you might be losing hair by looking at your genes.
- Pick the Best Treatment: The test can guide you to the most effective options, like creams, pills, or procedures, that work for your specific needs.
