In addition to identifying a more recent genetic basis for the disorder, recent research has focused on the involvement of stem cells in the pathophysiology of androgenetic Alopecia. AGA can now be diagnosed by Trichoscopy. While the major treatment options continuous to be topical minoxidil, systemic Finasteride and hair transplantations, newer modalities are under investigation. Evidence-based principles have also been used to produce specific recommendations for diagnosis and therapy. The latest ideas regarding AGA are reviewed in this Article .We have attempted to highlight current understanding of the genetic basis of AGA in relation to the pathophysiology. hormones, genetics, deficit in micronutrients, and microinflammation.
