Chromosome 9 open reading frame 78 pseudogene (ENSG00000232175)

Chromosome 9 open reading frame 78 pseudogene (ENSG00000232175) is an annotated pseudogene located on human chromosome 9. Pseudogenes are DNA segments that resemble functional genes but have lost their protein-coding ability due to disabling mutations, insertions, deletions, or lack of essential regulatory elements[2][4][5]. Pseudogenes may be transcribed at low levels, but their transcripts typically lack biological function, and the locus does not encode a functional protein product[2][4][5]. Pseudogenes are important for evolutionary and comparative genomics but are not considered therapeutic targets or druggable entities[2][4][5].
