Chromosome 2 open reading frame 27B pseudogene (null)

Chromosome 2 open reading frame 27B pseudogene is a genomic DNA sequence that resembles a functional gene but is generally considered nonfunctional due to mutations such as frameshifts or early stop codons. Pseudogenes do not code for functional proteins but may sometimes play regulatory roles at the RNA level, such as acting as RNA decoys or sources of small interfering RNAs. There is no evidence that this pseudogene encodes a protein or functions as a therapeutic target. Most pseudogenes, including this one, are not considered relevant drug targets, though pseudogenes as a class have gained attention for possible regulatory roles in gene expression[1][5].
