Family With Sequence Similarity 166, Member A, pseudogene 4 (None)

Family With Sequence Similarity 166, Member A, pseudogene 4 (ENSG00000227711) is a human genomic element classified as a pseudogene, meaning it is a DNA sequence derived from a previously functional gene but now incapable of encoding a protein[4][6]. Pseudogenes often result from gene duplication or retrotransposition followed by disabling mutations, and may retain significant homology to their ancestral gene[4][6]. While most pseudogenes are presumed nonfunctional, some have been shown to exert regulatory effects at the RNA level, but specific functions are not known for this locus[8]. No roles in disease nor interactions with drugs have been reported, and this locus is not used as a biomarker or therapeutic target. As such, it should not be considered a canonical molecular target for pharmacological intervention.
