GWAS for male-pattern baldness identifies 71 susceptibility loci explaining 38% of the risk

Male pattern baldness (MBP) is a complex trait that has genetic associations. Here, Pirastu and colleagues perform a genome-wide association study to show 71 susceptibility loci associated with MBP — 30 of which are novel — and that these loci can explain 38% of heritability.
