F-box and WD repeat domain containing 12 pseudogene (FBXW12 pseudogene)

F-box and WD repeat domain containing 12 pseudogene (FBXW12 pseudogene) is classified as a pseudogene and is non-protein coding[1]. Pseudogenes are genomic elements related to functional genes but are generally considered *nonfunctional* due to the accumulation of disabling mutations and the lack of expression of a functional protein product. There is no evidence this pseudogene encodes a functional protein or is involved in canonical molecular or cellular functions, and it is not considered a valid therapeutic target. Additionally, as a pseudogene, it does not have known disease associations, interacting drugs, or established safety concerns for drug development. In summary, this entry is **not a therapeutic target** but rather a **nonfunctional pseudogene**, and its presence in target gene lists may be due to annotation errors or misunderstandings about its nature[1].
