Hair loss may be caused by gene glitch

    Scientists attribute hair loss to a number of factors, but a recent study has discovered that problems in a gene may be a cause of inherited hair loss.

    The study conducted by the University of Massachusetts, however, doesn't blame baldness solely on the problematic gene, called the LIPH gene. The United Press International tells us more:

    The study doesn't lay blame for hair loss solely on the malfunctioning LIPH gene because people can lose their hair for many reasons and other genes may be involved, WebMD.com said. In this study, the LIPH gene, which makes a protein, stood out as the cause.

    Evgeny Rogaev, a psychiatry professor specializing in genetics at the University of Massachusetts medical school, studied healthy Russian people from 50 unrelated families with conditions of inherited hair loss and slow-growing hair, WebMD.com said.

    The researchers found participants with inherited hair loss and slow-growing hair had a glitch in their LIPH gene, WebMD.com said.

    Herbal Hair Regrowth

    I have been having a problem with my hair falling off at the sides for a very long time. im 27 years old so that should not be a problem of age, the problem is that it grows but keep falling off. I’m short of tricks to do and the worst thing is that its really hard to style my hair and i have tried some creams but they have not worked but when i started using IHT-9 Herbal Hair Regrowth Shampoo, wow, it really works and actually regrowing my hair. Im getting my hair back IHT-9 Shampoo is really a miracle for me.
