Hair Restoration Research Dr. Christiano at Columbia University Identifies APCDD1, A Newly Discovered Gene Associated With Hair Loss

Dr. Angela Christiano of Columbia University in New York and a team of scientific researchers, have identified a new gene involved in hair growth. Their discovery may affect the direction of future research for hair loss and the diagnosis and ultimate prevention of male pattern baldness. The condition, which leads to thinning hair, is called hereditary hypotrichosis simplex. Through the study of families in Pakistan and Italy who suffer from this condition, the team was able to identify a mutation of the APCDD1 gene located in chromosome 18. This chromosome has been linked to other causes of hair loss.

Bernstein Medical News Dr. Bernstein Talks Hair Transplant Repair On ‘Good Morning America’

"Good Morning America" interviewed Dr. Bernstein in their two-part series on hair transplant surgery. Below is an excerpt from the interview: Charles Gibson: Are there good candidates and bad candidates for this? Dr. Bernstein: Yes. And actually people that wear hairpieces are sometimes tricky because their baseline is a full head of hair, so one of the important things that we had to discuss in the first consult was what his expectations were and whether he realized that a transplant wouldn't give him the fullness of a hairpiece, but of course, it would look much more natural. Watch the full interview.

Bernstein Medical Page Miniaturization

The hair follicle growth cycle consists of three phases: a growth phase (“anagen”), a transitional phase (“catagen”), and a resting phase (“telogen”). In susceptible hair follicles, the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) can, over time, cause the growth phase of the hair cycle to become progressively shorter. As a result, the individual hairs produced by these follicles decrease in size (diameter and length) until they eventually disappear. This process is called “miniaturization.” It is the main mechanism in androgenetic alopecia (genetic balding). Miniaturization: The Mechanismin Genetic BaldingNormal scalp hair grows in follicular units made up of one to four terminal (full thickness) hairs. The terminal hairs in any single DHT-susceptible follicular unit might be in varying stages of miniaturization, and thus be of varying diameters. When enough terminal hairs are in a state of miniaturization, there appears to be a visible thinning of the hair in the affected areas. As more hairs in each follicular unit become miniaturized, the process may lead to complete baldness in that area of the scalp.

Hair Restoration Answers Is Asymmetrical Hair Loss from Telogen Effluvium or Androgenetic Alopecia?

Q: Over the past three months, my hair seems to be thinning more on one side. Is it common in male pattern hair loss for it to be more on one side? I had a lot of stress about three months ago and have heard that this could be the cause. Is this possible? Should I use Rogaine to treat it? -- B.R., Landover, MD A: Regardless of the cause, hair loss is usually not perfectly symmetric. This applies to male pattern hair loss as well. In your case, it is important to distinguish between telogen effluvium (shedding that can be due to stress) and hereditary or common baldness. The three month interval from the stressful period to the onset of hair loss is characteristic telogen effluvium, but you may have androgenetic alopecia as an underlying problem. The two conditions are differentiated by identifying club hairs in telogen effluvium and miniaturized hair in androgenetic alopecia. In addition, a hair pull will be positive in telogen effluvium (when a clump of hair is grasped with the fingers, more than five hairs pull out of the scalp at one time) and will be negative in common baldness. The hair loss diagnosis can…
