FAM238A

Summary

FAM238A (family with sequence similarity 238 member A, HGNC:17776) is a unprocessed pseudogene on chromosome 10p12.1.

At a glance

• Gene type: non-coding (transcribed_unprocessed_pseudogene) — no protein product; not a drug target. Variant/disease associations are omitted (they would be positional, from an overlapping protein-coding gene).
