A member asked:
My bro has male pattern baldness though my dad or me or our grandparents dont have will his future children also have male pattern baldness ? what are the odds?

Baldness is an inherited gene trait linked to the X chromosome acquired from the mother, and if your parents and grandparents became bald then the chances are quite high that you will inherit this genetic characteristic. But remember it comes fromthe mother's side.
