About a third of men begins to recede as some 45-ty. It is estimated that 80 per cent. male baldness is inherited, writes sciencedaily.com.

Next to colleagues in Iceland, Sweden and the Netherlands carried out research, scientists from Britain more than a thousand analyzed the genomes of Caucasian associated with alopecia.

Scientists discovered two previously unknown genetic variants that increase the risk of alopecia.

"I think that men of other nationalities nuplinka of these genetic alterations, but research is still with other nations' representatives did not, so we can not say exactly," - says researcher Brent Richards.

Although scientists say that this important discovery, but, according to them, with alopecia fight is still unhelpful. "We have identified the cause, but the need for more research", - said B. Richards.

"On the other hand, early diagnosis of hair loss may lead to discovery of new therapies to help with the fight," - my other researcher Tim Spector.
