So: Can scientists screen and treat men now for male pattern baldness?
No, sciencists cannot screen people very accurately yet, but they are getting closer. And they cannot treat baldness very effectively except for the limited number of products that are currently on the market that treats baldness in some people. Scientists are getting closer to being able to identify baldness in women, too.
And: Can we prevent hair loss now?
No, but maybe in the near future.
Such research studies are bringing scientists closer to being able to develop an accurate genetic test for developing alopecia (hair loss).
Currently, a test has been developed but it only predicts baldness in 60% of the cases.
