Down’s Syndrome and balding

I’ve notice that men with Down syndrome are always going bald at an early age. Does anyone know why this would be? The only hormonal effect of Down Syndrome that I’m aware of is low thyroid. This may be a possible avenue for research. Maybe baldness is, in part, a thyroid issue.

About 50% of men will experience balding in their lifetime. That includes men with Down’s Syndrome.
