RN7SK pseudogene 142 (RN7SKP142)

RN7SK pseudogene 142 (RN7SKP142) is annotated as a pseudogene in the human genome with significant sequence similarity to the functional non-coding RNA gene RN7SK[3][7]. Pseudogenes are typically genomic DNA sequences resembling functional genes but are generally considered non-functional due to disabling mutations or lack of necessary regulatory elements. RN7SKP142 does not encode a functional small nuclear RNA or protein and there is no known evidence linking this pseudogene to direct biological roles, disease relevance, or interaction with therapeutic agents. While its parent gene, RN7SK, is important in the regulation of transcription elongation and has been indirectly associated with several biological processes and disease pathways[1][2][4][5], RN7SKP142 itself is not recognized as a therapeutic or biological target.
