Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1-like 1 pseudogene

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1-like 1 pseudogene (ENSG00000255174) is a human genomic sequence classified as a pseudogene, related in sequence to the WHSC1L1 gene. Pseudogenes are DNA sequences resembling known genes but are generally non-functional due to mutations that prevent their transcription or translation into biologically active proteins[5][8]. There is no evidence that this pseudogene encodes a protein or acts as a functional molecular target. Its functional relatives — such as WHSC1 (NSD2) and WHSC1L1 (NSD3) — play roles in gene regulation (histone methylation), cancer, and development, but the pseudogene does not participate in these processes[1][7]. No drugs directly target pseudogenes, nor do they serve as recognized biomarkers or therapeutic targets.
