Gephyrin pseudogene

Gephyrin pseudogene (ENSG00000271697) is a nonfunctional DNA sequence in the human genome with high similarity to the *gephyrin* gene (GPHN), but it does not encode a functional gephyrin protein or any other known protein product[1][4]. Pseudogenes are typically remnants of genes that have lost their ability to code for proteins due to disabling mutations, such as frameshifts or premature stop codons, and are considered a type of "junk DNA," although some pseudogenes have been shown to play regulatory roles as RNA in rare cases[1][3]. No evidence suggests that this gephyrin pseudogene has any physiological, disease, or therapeutic relevance[1][4].
