Press Release Summary: Genealogy site itsourtree.com can help to avoid baldness

Researchers found out which of your 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.


Press Release Body: 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 and stronger hair.

Itsourtree.com, the fastest-growing family network worldwide, is a strong
complementary to other genealogical resources. So far, more than 5 million families
use the platform to combine genealogy with family health issues.
