HORMAD1 pseudogene 1 (HORMAD1P1)

HORMAD1 pseudogene 1 (HORMAD1P1) is an intronless pseudogene of the HORMAD1 gene, identified on chromosome 6q12-14.1, and shows 93% sequence identity to the HORMAD1 functional transcript[1]. Pseudogenes are segments of DNA that resemble functional genes but typically do not encode functional proteins due to disabling mutations (e.g., frameshifts, premature stop codons)[1]. HORMAD1P1 is a non-coding locus and is not known to be translated into protein, nor is it implicated in any biological or disease processes. The functional HORMAD1 gene encodes a HORMA domain-containing protein involved in meiosis and has been studied as a cancer/testis antigen[1][2][5][6], but HORMAD1P1 does not share these properties. HORMAD1 pseudogene 1 is a non-coding pseudogene and is not a therapeutic target. For structured data and biomedical use, the entry should be flagged as incorrect or not relevant for drug discovery or pharmacology[1].
