### SNORA70C Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: SNORA70C  
**Type**: Small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)  
**Function**: Involved in post-transcriptional modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

#### 1. Associated Genes
While the primary information highlights the relationship of SNORA70C with ribosomal protein L10 and astrotactin 2, it is worth mentioning that small nucleolar RNAs often have a functional relationship with other snoRNAs and rRNA processing genes. Specific genes related to this snoRNA within the nucleolus may include other H/ACA snoRNA genes, though detailed associations are often less characterized in databases.

#### 2. Aging or Age-Related Diseases
There is currently limited direct research linking SNORA70C specifically to aging or age-related diseases. However, since snoRNAs play a critical role in rRNA modification and ribosome biogenesis, dysregulation of such processes can affect cellular aging and contribute to age-related pathologies, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Changes in snoRNA profiles have been observed in various diseases, but the direct role of SNORA70C specifically in aging remains to be elucidated in further studies.

#### 3. Drug or Drug Classes
As of the latest knowledge up to October 2023, there are no specific drugs or drug classes universally recognized to interact directly with the SNORA70C gene itself. However, drugs affecting the general mechanisms of RNA processing or those targeting the ribosome may indirectly influence the functions where this snoRNA is involved. As research evolves, more precise interactions could be identified.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
SNORA70C is primarily involved in:
- **rRNA Pseudouridylation**: This snoRNA guides the conversion of specific uridine residues into pseudouridine in rRNA, specifically targeting the 18S rRNA.
- **Ribosome Biogenesis**: As part of the larger nucleolar function, it contributes to the assembly and maturation of ribosomal subunits, essential for protein synthesis.
- **Nucleolar Function**: The gene plays a role in maintaining nucleolar structure and function, which is crucial for the overall cellular metabolism.

### Conclusion
SNORA70C represents an important genetic element in the context of rRNA modification and ribosome biogenesis. Further research may illuminate additional associations with aging, diseases, and potential therapeutic interventions. As the understanding of snoRNAs continues to grow, so too will the significance of SNORA70C in the field of molecular biology and genetics.
