High mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2 pseudogene 34 (HMGN2P34)

High mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2 pseudogene 34 (HMGN2P34) is a human pseudogene locus with sequence similarity to the HMGN2 (high mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2) gene. Pseudogenes are nonfunctional segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but typically do not encode functional protein products due to mutations or genomic rearrangements. They may be transcribed into noncoding RNAs that can regulate their parent gene and other genes via various mechanisms, such as serving as RNA decoys or influencing chromatin structure, but specific biological functions for HMGN2P34 have not been characterized. There is no evidence for HMGN2P34 being a direct disease gene, clinical biomarker, or drug target.
