Sal-like protein 2 pseudogene (No standard abbreviation; "SAL-like 2, pseudogene" is used, but common abbreviations are not established for pseudogenes.)

Sal-like protein 2 pseudogene (ENSG00000267187) is a DNA sequence in the human genome with significant similarity to the gene encoding Sal-like protein 2, a zinc finger transcription factor. Unlike its functional parent gene, pseudogenes of this type are characterized by disruptive mutations (e.g., frameshifts, premature stop codons), lack introns (if processed), and do not produce functional proteins. Pseudogenes may arise through gene duplication or retrotransposition followed by disabling mutations[2][1][4][5]. While some pseudogenes are transcribed and may participate in gene regulatory networks, there is no evidence that Sal-like 2 pseudogene has any biological function or disease association. These sequences are mainly relevant for genome annotation and may affect the accuracy of genetic variant analysis and diagnostics due to their sequence similarity with parent genes[7].
