I'm still in the process of figuring out, with a derm's help, whether my loss is CTE or genetic, or both. I know it makes little difference that I have no AGA in my family, & one can develop it regardless. But isn't the likelihood of androgenic loss less with no family history? And from whom does one inherit the gene? I hear different things from dr's- some say mother's side, others say both. Which is correct, and wouldn't my likelihood increase if someone else had it?
