Family with sequence similarity 71, member C pseudogene (None in standard scientific usage; the gene symbol (FAM71C) is typical for functional counterparts, but this is a pseudogene version.)

"Family with sequence similarity 71, member C pseudogene" (ENSG00000253391) is a genomic segment classified as a processed pseudogene, resembling the FAM71C gene, but mutated so it cannot encode a functional protein[5][1]. Pseudogenes typically arise through duplication, retrotransposition, or mutation of protein-coding genes. Recent research shows that some pseudogenes can be transcribed to RNA and may influence gene regulation through molecular decoy mechanisms or RNA interference pathways, but most remain nonfunctional "genomic fossils" with no direct cellular or clinical impact[3][5]. There is currently no evidence of regulatory function, disease involvement, or drug interaction for this particular pseudogene. If you seek a therapeutic target, this gene is not appropriate. For information on functional targets, consider searching for the protein-coding version or related active genes.
