01

Overview

Family with sequence similarity 27, member A, pseudogene (ENSG00000270957) is a **pseudogene in the human genome**. Pseudogenes are genomic loci with sequence similarity to protein-coding genes but typically lack the ability to produce a functional protein. They arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events and generally do not serve as therapeutic targets, receptors, enzymes, or direct disease markers. Most pseudogenes, including this one, are nonfunctional and are annotated for genomic reference rather than biological activity. This locus does not encode a known protein, possess established biological functions, or participate in drug interactions[1][3][15][13].

Other names
AC092175.1Previous GeneCards identifiers (30+ codes, e.g., GC07P057544, GC07P057526, etc.)
02

Mechanism of action

None, as there are no therapeutically relevant interactions or protein products[15][13].

03

Biological functions

None established. Pseudogenes typically do not have protein coding function in humans[15][13].Rarely, pseudogenes may act as competitive endogenous RNAs or may participate in regulatory networks, but no specific function is described for this pseudogene[11][14].
04

Disease associations

None established for this specific pseudogeneGeneral pseudogene literature suggests limited direct involvement in disease, with rare regulatory exceptions[11][14][15].
05

Safety considerations

None related to therapeutic targeting, as it is not a drug target[15].
06

Interacting drugs

None. No drugs are known to interact with this pseudogene or any expressed product, as it does not produce a protein[3][15].
07

Biomarkers

None reported or validated for clinical selection or monitoring; this locus is nonfunctional[15][6].
