Chromosome 20 open reading frame 30 pseudogene

Chromosome 20 open reading frame 30 pseudogene is a non-coding genomic sequence on human chromosome 20 that shares homology with a putative protein-coding gene but is unable to produce a functional protein product due to disabling mutations or loss of regulatory elements. Pseudogenes like this may play minor regulatory roles at the RNA level, such as acting as competing endogenous RNAs or serving as sources of small regulatory RNAs, although most are functionless DNA remnants and not subjects of therapeutic targeting. The existence of the pseudogene is a result of gene duplication, retrotransposition, or other genomic events, and it is annotated according to systematic genomic conventions for open reading frames and pseudogenes[1][2][4][6].
