Overview

SPIN2P1 (spindlin family member 2B pseudogene 1) is a human pseudogene classified in the spindlin family. It does not encode a functional protein and has no known biological or disease roles. Its high sequence similarity to adjacent protein-coding genes can cause confusion and misclassification in clinical genetic testing, impacting interpretation of disease risk, particularly in cancer genetics. Unlike its protein-coding paralog SPIN2B, SPIN2P1 should not be considered a therapeutic target, and its variants should not be interpreted as pathogenic unless evidence demonstrates a direct functional impact. SPIN2B (spindlin family member 2B), the protein-coding gene, is involved in regulation of cell cycle progression, apoptosis inhibition, and histone modification (H3K4me3 binding); however, these functions do not apply to SPIN2P1. SPIN2P1's status as a pseudogene has led to reclassification of some variants previously associated with disease risk once it was shown that they are located in SPIN2P1, not in the functional gene.

Safety considerations

Potential for misclassification of genetic variants as pathogenic due to sequence homology with functional genes (such as SPIN2B or PMS2), which can impact cancer risk interpretation and clinical management
