In February 2008 researchers at the University of Bonn announced they have found the genetic basis of two distinct forms of inherited hair loss, opening a broad path to treatments for baldness. They found that a gene, P2RY5, causes a rare, inherited form of hair loss called Hypotrichosis simplex. It is the first receptor in humans known to play a role in hair growth. The fact that any receptor plays a specific role in hair growth was previously unknown to scientists and with this new knowledge a focus on finding more of these genes may be able to lead to therapies for very different types of hair loss.[28] Their patent-pending work on the various loci region of Chromosome 20 are the subject of two Nature articles. Researchers in Germany (University of Bonn) and the UK (Pangaea Laboratories Ltd.) are working on the feasibility of drug target treatments and predictive testing for alopecia with the emphasis on screening patients for their likelihood to first lose their hair and second to ensure determine which patients are likely to benefit from which drug treatment avoiding the need for unsuccessful courses and side effects.

In May 2009, researchers in Japan identified a gene, Sox21, that appears to be responsible for hair loss in people.[18]
