New Genetic Links To Baldness Found
A new report in the journal Nature Genetics points to genetic markers for baldness that could be screened for. What do you think?

"One day, perhaps in the near future, we'll be able to tell just by DNA testing who is bald."

"These doctors are always one step ahead. Like when I think of curing cancer, they've already moved on to male pattern baldness."
Peter Doan,

"Too bad they didn't discover this before my dad died. That could have significantly reduced the snickering heard as friends and relatives passed the open casket."
