Novel ankyrin repeat domain 20 family member pseudogene (ENSG00000288694)

The "novel ankyrin repeat domain 20 family member pseudogene" (ENSG00000288694) is annotated as a human pseudogene and is not believed to produce a functional protein product. While its designation refers to homology with the ankyrin repeat domain 20 family, this locus is non-coding and does not participate in known biological or pathological processes. It is not considered a therapeutic target in drug discovery or pharmacology, and no genetic or functional associations relevant to human disease, biomarkers, drug action, or safety have been described in the literature or curated databases as of the present date. This "target" is a pseudogene: an inactive genomic locus resembling a member of the ankyrin repeat domain family, with no evidence for a role as a functional protein or drug target. Using this as a candidate for therapeutic targeting, biomarker development, or mechanism studies is unsupported by the current evidence.

None applicable.
