Male Baldness Info

You are a graduate student and discover a new gene within the human genome, and you have decided to call it BALDY. You characterize BALDY within the human population and discover that it is associated with male-pattern baldness. You map the BALDY gene to the genome and discover that it is within 50kb of the telomere of Chromosome 18q. Postulate a mechanism for BALDY expression changing with age.

Hmmm……. seems it’s from the Mothers side. I’m thinking i have a 50% chance of being bald. Oh oh!
