The etiology of male-pattern alopecia is explained as an interrelationship of three factors, genetic--a single dominant sex-limited gene; endocrine--dihydrotestosterone is the specific hormone responsible; and age. Other factors previously used to explain male-pattern alopecia are debunked. Treatment today is directed in the area of endocrinology, basically using either antiandrogens that block 5-alpha-reductase, thus preventing the formation of dihydrotestosterone, or steroids that interfere with dihydrostestosterone cytosol--nuclear binding protein expression.

Male pattern baldness is a common affliction affecting up to half the adult male population. Although females can be affected, the manifestations are usually limited to thinning of the hair. Over the past decade there has been increasing interest in treating male pattern baldness sparked by the introduction of minoxidil (Rogaine). This article will review the etiology, current treatments, and future developments.
