This is a list of human pseudogenes that are known to be disabled genes.
- WNT3A pseudogene, associated with the growth of a tail[1]
- NCF1C pseudogene, associated with a type of white blood cell.[2] It makes part of the neutrophil NADPH oxidase enzyme, which makes superoxide anion.[3]
- GULO pseudogene, associated with the production of Vitamin C
- IRGM pseudogene, associated with the immune system[4]
- hHaA pseudogene, associated with fur-like body hair:[5] see hypertrichosis
- DEFT1P pseudogene, associated with the immune system[6]
- Urate oxidase pseudogene, associated with the processing of uric acid
- Photolyase pseudogene, associated with repairing DNA damaged by UV radiation
- Photolyase is no longer encoded for despite obvious advantages.[7] Instead, this gene is mutated to encode for cryptochromes.
