Chromosome X open reading frame 49 pseudogene (CXorf49 pseudogene)

Chromosome X open reading frame 49 pseudogene (also known as CXorf49 pseudogene, ENSG00000283178, or LOC100289206) is classified as a human **pseudogene**[1][4]. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences that resemble protein-coding genes but are considered non-functional due to disabling mutations and lack of protein-coding potential[1][4][5]. They generally do not serve as therapeutic targets because they are not translated into functional proteins and do not show known direct roles in human disease. However, pseudogenes have been studied for their potential regulatory roles, such as acting as sources of small RNAs (e.g., siRNAs) that can modulate gene expression in certain contexts[7], but no such function is described for this particular pseudogene. No direct links to disease, biomarker use, or drug interaction exist for CXorf49 pseudogene.
