H2A.Z variant histone 2 pseudogene 1 (H2AZ2P1)

H2AZ2 pseudogene 1 (H2AZ2P1) is classified as a pseudogene related to the histone H2A.Z variant family, particularly H2A.Z.2. Unlike the protein-coding H2AZ2 gene, which encodes the H2A.Z.2 histone variant involved in chromatin structure, gene regulation, and is implicated in several cancers and developmental syndromes[5][1][2], H2AZ2P1 does not code for a functional protein. No therapeutic relevance, biological function, or disease association is currently attributed to this pseudogene. Entries referencing H2AZ2P1 are likely to be errors if used in the context of drug discovery or molecular pharmacology and should be corrected to refer to the functional H2AZ2 (H2A.Z.2) gene instead.
