Pseudogene similar to part of WD repeat domain 55

This gene, ENSG00000232409, is a **pseudogene** in the human genome annotated as *pseudogene similar to part of WD repeat domain 55 (WDR55)*. It is labeled as AC019185.2 in some databases[3]. Pseudogenes are typically non-functional DNA sequences related to known genes but do not encode functional proteins. Unlike the parent gene WDR55, which encodes a nucleolar protein involved in rRNA processing and organogenesis[5][8], this pseudogene does not appear to have protein-coding potential, therapeutic relevance, or disease associations[2][3]. The parent gene, WDR55, is a member of the WD40 repeat protein family, important for protein–protein interactions, but this pseudogene lacks evidence for similar biological activities or clinical significance in humans[5][7][8]. Summary: ENSG00000232409 is a pseudogene, **not a functional molecular target**, with no drug, biomarker, or disease relevance to date[2][3]. The entry is only appropriate for use as a reference to gene annotation rather than as a target for therapeutic or biomarker research.
