### FGF12-AS3 Gene Overview

#### Gene Summary
The FGF12-AS3 gene, known as Fibroblast Growth Factor 12 Antisense RNA 3, is an antisense non-coding RNA associated with regulatory functions in gene expression. This gene is situated in a region that has been implicated in various cellular processes, particularly those involving fibroblast growth factors and their pathways.

### 1. Associated Genes
While specific associations can vary based on different studies, FGF12-AS3 might be related to the following genes:
- **FGF12**: The protein-coding gene encoding fibroblast growth factor 12, closely linked in function and position.
- **Other members of the FGF family**: Such as FGF1, FGF2, etc., which are involved with development and tissue repair.
- **Genes related to cellular signaling** and regulation might also show associations, especially those involved in growth factor signaling.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Research directly linking FGF12-AS3 to aging or age-related diseases is limited. However, since FGF12 is involved in neurologic function and cellular growth, there may be indirect associations:
- **Neurodegenerative Diseases**: Dysregulation in FGF pathways has been suggested in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
- **Cardiovascular Aging**: FGF signaling can also influence vascular growth and repair, with implications for age-related vascular diseases.

### 3. Drug Interactions
As an antisense RNA, FGF12-AS3 may not directly interact with specific drugs but could affect the expression or function of proteins in pathways modulated by drugs targeting FGF signaling:
- **Small Molecule Inhibitors** of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), which might indirectly impact the functioning of pathways involving FGF12 and by extension, FGF12-AS3.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
FGF12-AS3 is involved in:
- **Regulation of Gene Expression**: As an antisense RNA, it may play roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene products.
- **Cell Signaling Pathways**: Given its relationship with FGF proteins, it may be implicated in pathways involved in cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival.
- **Cancer Biology**: Altered FGF signaling has been implicated in tumorigenesis, suggesting that FGF12-AS3 might have a role in cancer-related pathways.

### Summary
The FGF12-AS3 gene is a non-coding RNA potentially involved in regulating the expression of fibroblast growth factors, impacting various biological processes including those related to aging and disease. Further research may elucidate its precise roles, especially regarding its implications in age-related conditions and pharmacological interactions.
