摘要：

BACKGROUND. It has always been assumed that female AGA represents the female counter part to male AGA. OBJECTIVE. To present arguments illustrating that these are entirely different entities. METHOD. Four well-known facts about both entities that would indicate they are separate are cited. Family pedigree filled with female AGA and minimal male AGA is presented and a reference to a female with no curculating androgens and typical female AGA is cited. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION. Based on evidence presented it is concluded these are two entirely different diseases.
