I believe so. My brother is bald & I don't know of any other bald male relatives. Or female either!
Curable? I don't know but I doubt it. Talk to your doctor.
Remember - it's just hair!

yes it is genetic but can also be environmental, so you may end up bald. it is curable if you use female hormones (pill) but you don't have to mind the shrinking of your dangly bits and some fat deposits on the hips and breasts

it is possible and common. the gene for Male Pattern Baldness is actually carried by the female but only affects the male. so you need to look at you maternal grandfather, if he was bald, you mother would have carried the gene and passed it to you. but, also it could have been your maternal grandmother's father or you maternal grandmother's maternal grandmother's father (your great great great grandad) etc etc. so it can go many generations without showing.
