Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness

Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness

Male pattern baldness (MPB) is a polygenic trait that affects the majority of European men. Here, Yap et al. estimate heritability, partitioned by autosomes and the X-chromosome, of MPB in the UK Biobank cohort, perform GWAS for MPB and find genetic correlation with other sex-specific traits.
