    I'm not sure if Dr farjo has just started this treatment but having looked further into it this gene test has been out since 2008

    If only that had been available earlier. But then, it seems pretty obvious I have that 'bad' gene. Rate I'm going since January, I'll be lucky to not be bald by 35, let alone 40.

    Dont worry, 80% of humans have that "bad gene" - its just when and how you will experience hair loss, which is what this DNA test seeks to determine.

    But before age 70 most of us will experience it.

    80%? You mean to tell me that 20% of all men will die with a full head of hair and norwood 0?

    No, it means they won't experience hair loss that follows the pattern of MPB. In most cases they'll still develop mature hairlines along the way and their hair will still thin with age.
