Genealogy site itsourtree.com can help to avoid baldness

Researchers found out which of one’s ancestors is responsible for men’s genetic probability of losing hair early. Building the family tree on itsourtree.com can help men determine their personal risk of losing their hair and improve therapeutic results by starting treatment earlier.

Scientific estimations showed that about 80 % of cases of male baldness are inherited. Until now, researchers have assumed that male baldness is passed down to men from their mother’s father. Recent findings have added another possibility: the inherited baldness is closely linked with genetic variations on two regions of chromosome 20. Thus, male baldness can be passed down from the female line of the family as well.

Building the family tree and uploading the relatives’ photos on social family website itsourtree.com can help men determine their probability of losing their hair. The free site offers a clear overview of male ancestors from both the female and the male line of the family in combination with the exact familial relationship. Early prediction and therapy may lead to better results.

Apart from the English site, the services are available in Germany, in Poland, Spain and South America, Portugal, Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy and France. The platform will continue expanding to other European countries as well as worldwide. Itsourtree.com is supported by Business Angels, Hasso Plattner Ventures and Neuhaus Partners, a well-known venture capitalist.
