Pseudogene similar to part of Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated

The ENSG00000232418 entry refers to a pseudogene whose sequence is similar to a region of the ATM kinase gene but does not encode a functional protein. Pseudogenes are genomic sequences that resemble known genes but typically lack protein-coding capability due to disabling mutations, insertions, or truncations. This pseudogene does not participate in the DNA damage response, cell cycle checkpoint control, or any of the functions attributed to the true ATM gene. Unlike ATM, which plays a critical role in genome stability, cell cycle regulation, and is implicated in cancer biology and therapy resistance, this pseudogene has no known functional, therapeutic, or disease-related properties[1].
