MyBody-X angle on Haarausfall Check

There is insufficient scientific evidence that a consumer DNA test for hair loss („Haarausfall Check“) can provide clinically valid recommendations. Most such tests rely on single SNPs (e.g., in the AR gene or 5α-reductase) that explain only a small fraction of hereditary risk. Hair loss is multifactorial (hormones, nutrition, stress, aging) and cannot be reliably predicted or managed by a genetic test alone. Professional societies caution against direct-to-consumer tests without medical supervision. Caveat: Do not start supplements or medications based solely on a genetic test. Persistent hair loss should be evaluated by a dermatologist or endocrinologist.
