    cluster of genes crucial for skin barrier formation

    The Epidermal Differentiation Complex (EDC) is a cluster of genes located on chromosome 1 in humans that play a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of the skin barrier. These genes are responsible for producing proteins that help skin cells mature and form the outermost layer of the skin, which protects the body from environmental damage and prevents water loss.
