General knowledge question. Inheritence of DUPA? Would like to eventually get a hair transplant if possible.

June 8, 2018

I have been having hair shedding on and off for years now. Currently going through massive shedding right now (one of the worst I can remember). Before I noticed only thinning on the front and crown. Now, I am noticing it more on the sides. No one has unpatterned alopecia in my family, I just have a few uncles w/ MPB. Can unpatterned alopecia still be inherited spontaneously like this or will it (hopefully) follow what my uncles have? Would like to eventually get a hair transplant if possible.
