 We recommend to our patient, and offer them to take the HairDX (RxR) genetic test before they start taking propecia. In some patients there is a sexual side effect however small, deters many patients from using propecia when they not sure if the benefits out way the side effects. The hairDX genetic test for propecia response  will help you determine if your patient will have a slight, moderate, or great treatment response to finasteride; thus ,allowing you to provide your patients with the best treatment regimen to save their hair. The HairDX genetic test will tell you how your body will respond to propecia. It provides men with a score, called the CAG repeat score. A smaller CAG test score is associated with an increased response to propecia for treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men. Scientists discovered that among men that had the best response to propecia approximately 70% had a CAG score below 22 while among men that had a subtle response to propecia approximately 70% had a CAG score above 22.
