Family with sequence similarity 60, member A pseudogene (FAM60A pseudogene)

Family with sequence similarity 60, member A pseudogene (ENSG00000257580) is a non-protein-coding genomic locus considered a **pseudogene**, meaning it is a defunct copy related to the FAM60A gene family but is not transcribed into a functional protein. Pseudogenes generally arise by gene duplication or retrotransposition and accumulate disabling mutations[6]. There is currently no evidence that this locus has regulatory, coding, or therapeutic relevance. Most pseudogenes, including this one, do not have established molecular functions or disease roles and are not targeted by drugs. Their genomic annotation serves as reference for evolutionary or transcriptional studies[6][8]. If you seek information on the active gene family member, consider searching for the functional protein-coding gene "family with sequence similarity 60, member A" or FAM60A. This entry, however, represents a **pseudogene** and thus is **not a valid actionable therapeutic target**.
