Glossary EDA gene

gene crucial for developing skin, hair, teeth, and sweat glands

The EDA gene, or ectodysplasin A gene, is responsible for producing a protein that plays a crucial role in the development of skin, hair, teeth, and sweat glands. Mutations in this gene can lead to conditions like X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, which is characterized by sparse hair, missing teeth, and reduced ability to sweat.
