The Patterned Baldness Non Androgen-Dependent Model
More recently, on May of 2010, a study published by the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in the UK titled “Female pattern hair loss in complete androgen insensitivity syndrome” showed a puzzling finding, namely that women with complete insensitivity to androgens still exhibited AGA.
This is stated clearly in this quote: “We describe female pattern hair loss occurring in a patient with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome suggesting that mechanisms other than direct androgen action contribute to this common form of hair loss in women”. [30]
This study shows that other factors besides androgens and androgen metabolism maybe at play here.
