MyBody-X angle on Haarausfall Genetik

The provided context does not contain specific information on hair loss genetics. In general, the genetics of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is complex and polygenic. Known risk variants (e.g., in the AR gene, 20p11.22) have moderate effect sizes, but the predictive value of direct-to-consumer tests is limited. A positive finding does not guarantee hair loss, as environmental factors, hormones, and lifestyle play major roles. Evidence is based on GWAS and mechanistic studies, not on randomized controlled trials of test utility. MyBody-X should clearly communicate that such tests are not a medical diagnosis and results should be seen as a risk indicator, not destiny. Marketing claims like 'the hair loss gene' are misleading.
