HAIRDX, DIAGNOSING GENETIC HAIR LOSS

hairdx diagnosing hair loss in dallas, texas and the u.s.

I got a call a couple of weeks ago from this outfit that purportedly helps to diagnose hair loss using a genetic test.  I am always wary since currently the understanding of hair loss is polygenic, i.e., it can occur due to different genes or multiple genes and can have different degrees of expression, i.e., even if you have the gene you may or may not manifest the condition physically.  I thought it was also interesting since our website is “hairtx” as in short for hair transplant or hair texas and theirs is “hairdx” which is short for hair diagnosis (as you may or may not know the x is a short hand for several things in the medical field.)  I do not endorse or support this site but am curious to know if any of you have any opinions on it.
