Where Did The Balding Gene Come From?

[Bobster231]

Like seriously. People are born and meant to have hair on their heads. Does something just go wrong in the embryo during pregnancy? I wish I was aborted. They should have genetic testing during pregnancy and the fetus should be aborted and destroyed if the balding gene is in there. How can you knowingly have a child risking giving them a terrible gene that will ruin their life.

No one is bald in my family. That is the messed up part.

Multifactorial,however if speaking strictly from inheritance point of view,its Chromosome no 20.

I have spend my 5 years to find chromosome no of baldness gene,
There is only one page on Entire World wide web or not at all in any medical books that hints its on chromosome 20.
No references of this on other sources at all.

Please don't speak for X chromosome,it is commonly attribuited as culprit but my mother's family side has no baldness.

Baldness ruined my life. I quit my job. GF left me, gave up my apartment. Had to move back in with my parents in my late 20's. Became suicidal 24/7.
