Answer: How is male pattern hair loss inherited? The genetics of male pattern hair loss is not fully understood. It is complex and likely to be multi genetic. Despite common misconceptions, it can be inherited from both the mother and the father. However, a man may lose his hair young and extensively but have no immediate male relatives with hair loss. Conversely, just because all male relatives have hair loss does not mean an individual will. Patterns of hair loss often run in families along with age of onset so taking a thorough family history should be part of the pre-op planning consultation.
