### SNORD14D Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** SNORD14D  
**Gene Type:** Small Nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)

**Function:** 
SNORD14D, part of the C/D box class of small nucleolar RNAs, is primarily involved in the modification of other RNAs, including ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). These modifications are critical for the proper processing and maturation of rRNA, and hence, for ribosome function and protein synthesis.

### Other Associated Genes
While specific genes directly associated with SNORD14D are not extensively cataloged, snoRNAs are generally co-expressed with other snoRNA genes within the same genomic regions. Some genes often linked to snoRNA functions include:

- **NOP56**: A gene encoding a nucleolar protein involved in the biogenesis of snoRNAs.
- **SNORD14A** and **SNORD14B**: Other members of the SNORD14 family, which may have overlapping functions and regulatory roles.

### Aging and Age-Related Diseases
The role of SNORD14D in aging and age-related diseases is not widely characterized. However, studies indicate that changes in snoRNA expression contribute to cellular aging and the dysregulation of RNA modification processes may be linked to age-related disorders. For instance:

- This gene, like others in the snoRNA family, may contribute to the efficiency of ribosome biogenesis, which has been linked to longevity and cellular senescence.
- Altered expression of snoRNAs has been implicated in various cancers, which are known to be more prevalent with age.

### Drug Interactions
Currently, no specific drugs or drug classes are documented to directly target or interact with the SNORD14D gene. However, agents influencing cellular pathways related to RNA processing or those that impact the function of ribosomes might indirectly affect this gene's activity. For instance:

- **Anticancer Drugs**: Since snoRNAs are involved in ribosome biogenesis, drugs targeting cancer cells may alter snoRNA expression as a secondary effect.

### Pathways and Biological Processes
SNORD14D is involved in several pivotal biological processes, including:

- **RNA Modification**: It plays a role in the methylation of rRNA, which is crucial for ribosomal function and assembly.
- **Ribosome Biogenesis**: Contributes to the maturation of pre-rRNA, impacting protein synthesis efficiency.
- **Regulation of Gene Expression**: Through the modification of other RNAs, it indirectly influences broader gene expression patterns.

### Summary 
In summary, SNORD14D is a small nucleolar RNA involved in RNA modification and ribosome biogenesis, with potential implications in aging and age-related diseases, though specific associations and mechanistic insights require further research. While no direct drugs have been identified that interact with SNORD14D, its functional pathways highlight its importance in cellular processes critical for maintaining proper biological functions.
