Research Abstract	We collected the blood sample, a patient of pattern of hair loss and normal control. The number of the aim plan cases is 350 people. However, we do not yet reach the aim numbers, so we have been continued sample collection. And the plan does not yet reach analysis. We extract DNA from the blood sample which I collected. And we amplified the promoter domain of the androgen receptor by PCR method and extract a DNA fragment afterwards. There is little number of the cases, and the sample collection of dermal papilla cells does not advance.
