POU5F1, which encodes a transcriptional factor, has two alternatively spliced transcripts, 1 and 2, as well as six pseudogenes. Transcript 1 is considered to be a key regulator of cellular pluripotency and self-renewal. The POU5F1 pseudogene, POU5F1P1 on 8q24, encodes a protein with 95% homology with the isoform 1 of POU5F1. It is located 15 kbp downstream of the SNP rs6983267, which is strongly a
