How Closely Does a Hair Loss Timeline Follow That of Family Members?

My father and my brother both showed significant hair loss in the crown area by the time they were my age (25). I do not currently have any hair loss in the crown. I guess my question is how closely does one follow their relatives hair loss timeline? In other words, if I’m not showing the same hair loss results he had at my age is it safe to assume that I have another family members hair loss pattern?

If I were a gambling man, I might bet that you would not follow the family pattern, but if you let me map out your hair for miniaturization, I would consider that “stacking the deck” on my gamble. With no crown miniaturization today at 25 years old with that family history, I would think that there is a high probability that you will not follow the family pattern and the timeline.
