Chondroitin sulfate synthase 1 pseudogene (null)

The "chondroitin sulfate synthase 1 pseudogene" (ENSG00000255463) is a nonfunctional DNA segment in the human genome that bears sequence similarity to the functional "Chondroitin sulfate synthase 1" (CHSY1) gene. Pseudogenes are characterized by disabling mutations—such as insertions, deletions, frameshifts, or premature stop codons—that prevent them from producing a functional protein product[8][2]. They are regarded as remnants of evolutionary processes and, except on rare occasions when they might have acquired regulatory functions, are not considered drug targets or relevant for therapeutic intervention.
