### CCDC102A Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** CCDC102A  
**Description:** The CCDC102A (Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 102A) gene encodes a protein that is predicted to be part of a myosin complex. The exact function of CCDC102A is not fully elucidated, but it is thought to be involved in cellular processes related to motor function and cytoskeletal organization due to its association with the myosin complex.

### 1. Associated Genes

While specific gene associations might not always be fully characterized, CCDC102A is likely to interact with various genes involved in similar pathways, including:

- **MYO1B, MYO2, MYO5A** – Genes encoding for different myosin proteins which play roles in muscle contraction and intracellular transport.
- **ACTB, ACTG1** – Genes encoding actin proteins that are essential components of cytoskeletal structure, often interacting with myosin.
- **CCDC20** – A gene associated with cell cycle regulation and may have interactions with coiled-coil domain containing proteins.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases

Currently, there are limited specific reports that directly associate CCDC102A with aging or age-related diseases. However, dysregulation of genes involved in myosin complexes and cytoskeletal dynamics has been implicated in various conditions that can manifest with aging, such as:

- **Muscle Atrophy:** Myosin dysfunction can affect muscle maintenance, which is critical in age-related sarcopenia.
- **Cardiovascular Diseases:** Disruptions in cytoskeleton dynamics can impact heart muscle function.
- **Neurodegenerative Disorders:** Alterations in transportation mechanisms within neurons, which may involve myosins, have been pointed out as contributors.

### 3. Drug or Drug Classes Interactions

As of the latest updates, no specific drugs or drug classes are conclusively known to interact with CCDC102A. However, since it is involved in myosin complex functions, drugs that target muscular or cytoskeletal pathways might have indirect effects. Compounds related to muscle function, actin dynamics, or those that modulate myosin activity (such as experimental myosin inhibitors) might warrant further investigation. 

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes

CCDC102A is believed to play a role in several essential biological pathways, including:

- **Muscle Contraction:** Involvement in the myosin complex suggests a role in muscle dynamics and contraction.
- **Cell Motility and Migration:** As myosin participates in cellular movements, CCDC102A might be implicated in processes like cellular migration.
- **Cytoskeletal Organization:** Essential for maintaining cell shape and structure, CCDC102A contributes to cytoskeleton integrity.
- **Cell Division:** May play a role in cytoskeletal functions during mitosis, interacting with other proteins to facilitate proper chromosome segregation.

### Conclusion

Overall, while CCDC102A is predicted to be involved in critical cellular processes and may have implications in muscle and cytoskeletal functions, more research is needed to uncover specific interactions, disease associations, and potential pharmacological implications.
