LYR motif containing 2 pseudogene

LYR motif containing 2 pseudogene is a genomic DNA sequence that resembles the functional LYRM2 gene but is *incapable of producing a functional protein product*. Pseudogenes, by definition, are nonfunctional sequences that arise from gene duplication or retrotransposition events, and lose their protein-coding capacity[1][3]. They may retain some sequence homology to their parent gene but do not participate in standard gene/protein functions. There is no evidence that this pseudogene is expressed, involved in disease, targeted by drugs, or relevant as a biomarker. It should not be mistaken for the functional LYRM2 gene, which is involved in mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly[2]; rather, this record (ENSG00000260405) denotes a nonfunctional, "dead" gene fragment with no established biomedical or therapeutic relevance[1][3].
