I Read That Balding Comes from a Mixture of Genes from Various Relatives
Hi Dr,
In school we studied how MPB is autosomal and sex influenced, not X-linked. I also read that balding is mixed penetrance. Does this mean there is a possibility that an individual can get a mixture of hair/balding, from various relatives? For example if ones father has no hair loss but his maternal grandfather does.Thanks for your time.
You are correct. You can inherit balding from either family lines and the genes may not express in your father or mother, but it may express in one or both of their parents. You could be a victim of these genes when you are old enough.
