Family with sequence similarity 162, member A pseudogene

Family with sequence similarity 162, member A pseudogene (ENSG00000255115) is a processed pseudogene present in the human genome, mapping to chromosome 19 (GRCh37 coordinates). Processed pseudogenes are derived from mRNA reverse transcription and genome integration, and typically lack introns and do not encode a functional protein. There is no evidence this locus produces a functional product or plays a recognized therapeutic, molecular, or disease role. Such pseudogenes are not used as drug targets, biomarkers, or for direct disease intervention—though in rare instances, some pseudogenes may regulate the expression of their parental genes or interact with microRNAs, but no such regulatory function is documented for this gene.
