Hey docs, quick question.
Do certain balding patterns follow the dominant/recessive genetic patterns? For example, is a pattern 3 dominant over a pattern 6 when it comes to inheritance? Or is it just chosen by random?
Genetic male pattern baldness is not a dominant trait. It also does not follow a clear predictable pattern and can even skip generations. It may also be dependent on more than one particular gene. The genetics of balding are not as clear cut as the color of one’s eyes (for example).
