If you didn't investigate your maternal grandfather... you might be bad at science.
Close; it's your mother's brothers, bc they would have the gene from the maternal grandmother
Well my mother doesn't have a brother, just a sister. Does that mean I might grow a boob on my head? Hmm... I don't remember that from biology...
All my maternal uncles ARE bald, fuck.
Though mid-20s and no sign yet.
Every man on my mother's side (even once or twice removed cousins, my grandfather's cousins, everyone) has male pattern baldness. The women have relatively thin hair in their old age. On my dad's side, he and his father both have full heads of hair into their old age. I turned 30 this year and no sign of baldness yet, but I do dread a day when someone tells me they see a bald spot at the back.
There's still hope. And I'm holding onto that hope like crazy.
Same story in my family, im 32 now and no sign of thinning
hit the finasteride at the first sign.. the earlier the better
Both my maternal grandfather and my maternal uncle are bald. I'm 43 and have a beautiful head of hair.
So it's on the x chromosome right? Your mom gets one from your grandpa and your grandma, so wouldn't both grandpa and your uncles be the correct answer?
It's a bit more complex than just the X chromosome. 80% of men will get male pattern baldness either way. The age of onset is what changes the most, but the X chromosome only has 6 of 63 genes involved. So, yes, but also no.
Then how come they all still have all their hair and I don't? I definitely got my dad's hair.
I once sucked my mother's brother
