    provides instructions for a protein crucial in hair development

    The EDAR gene provides instructions for making a protein that is crucial for the development of hair, teeth, and sweat glands. Mutations in this gene can lead to conditions like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, which affects these structures, resulting in sparse hair, missing teeth, and reduced ability to sweat.
