### SNORD113-1 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** SNORD113-1

SNORD113-1 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) belonging to the C/D box snoRNA family, involved primarily in RNA modification processes such as 2’-O-methylation of rRNA and other RNA species. It is located within the intron of the **MIR17** gene. 

### 1. Associated Genes
While the main focus is on SNORD113-1, snoRNAs are typically associated with ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes due to their role in rRNA processing. Consequently, SNORD113-1 may have indirect associations with genes encoding ribosomal proteins, such as:
- **RPS (Ribosomal Protein S)** and **RPL (Ribosomal Protein L)** genes, which play key roles in ribosome assembly and function.
- **MIR17** gene, given that SNORD113-1 is found within its intron.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Currently, there is limited direct research linking SNORD113-1 specifically to aging or age-related diseases. However, snoRNAs have been implicated in general cellular processes that could influence aging, such as:
- Regulation of ribosome biogenesis, which may decline with age.
- Impacting the processing of precursor molecules involved in various cellular pathways, thus potentially influencing senescence and related dysfunction.

The precise effects of SNORD113-1 in these contexts remain to be adequately explored, especially more recent data post-2023.

### 3. Drug Interactions
As of the latest available information, there are no specific drugs or drug classes documented that interact directly with SNORD113-1. However, given the involvement of snoRNAs in rRNA biogenesis, drugs targeting ribosome function or synthesizing antibiotics that impact ribosomal activity may indirectly relate to the functional consequences of snoRNAs like SNORD113-1.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
- **Ribosome Biogenesis:** SNORD113-1 plays a role in the modification of rRNA components that are essential for ribosome structure and functionality.
- **RNA Processing:** It participates in the post-transcriptional processing of ribosomal RNA.
- **Gene Regulation:** SnoRNAs like SNORD113-1 may influence gene expression indirectly via their modification activities on rRNA, which could affect overall protein synthesis.

### Summary
SNORD113-1 is an important player in RNA modification and ribosome biogenesis, engaging in essential cellular processes. Although there is a lack of specific research on its ties to aging or direct drug interactions, its functional pathway involvement lays the groundwork for understanding its broader implications in genetics and cellular health. Further empirical data focused on its roles may yield new insights into its importance in these contexts.
