Abstract
A genetic model of androchronogenic alopecia has yet to be described in the rat or
mouse, two of the better characterized species. It may be relevant that the best current
animal model of androchronogenic alopecia, the stumptailed macaque, 21–23 is a primate.
The age of onset and the pattern of hair loss closely resemble human male-pattern
baldness and morphologically, as well as mechanistically, may be analogous to the
corresponding process in humans. Since genetically controlled regional hairlessness
is a phenomenon relatively unique to Homo sapiens, it may be too much to expect to find an analogous process among rodents.
