Ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 1 pseudogene

Ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000256663) is a DNA sequence in the human genome that bears high similarity to the functional UHRF1 gene, but it has lost the ability to code for a protein due to the accumulation of disabling mutations[1][5]. As a **pseudogene**, it does not produce functional UHRF1 protein and is not known to have a direct biological or therapeutic function. While some pseudogenes can exert regulatory effects at the RNA level, most—including this locus—are not considered classical drug targets. The primary scientific interest in such pseudogenes relates to their evolutionary origin, possible subtle regulatory roles, and their potential impact on genetic testing accuracy[3][5].
