### RNA5SP102 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** RNA5SP102  
**Gene Type:** Non-coding RNA  
**Function:** RNA5SP102 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that plays a role in the biogenesis and modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These snoRNAs typically function as guides for the modification of other RNA molecules, particularly the methylation and pseudouridination of rRNA.

### Associated Genes

While specific associations for RNA5SP102 are not widely detailed in literature, snoRNAs in general can be involved in pathways that intersect with various ribosomal and nucleolar proteins. It is essential to check databases like GeneCards or Pathway Commons for potential interactions and associations with other genes that could be affected by mutations or expression changes of RNA5SP102.

### Known Details Related to Aging or Age-Related Diseases

Currently, there are limited direct associations between RNA5SP102 and aging or specific age-related diseases documented in the literature. However, small nucleolar RNAs, including those within the same family as RNA5SP102, have been implicated in cellular processes that are fundamental to aging, such as ribosome biogenesis and the regulation of gene expression, which can be altered in aging tissues or in diseases related to aging (such as cancer).

Further research may be needed to establish direct links between RNA5SP102 and these processes or pathologies.

### Drug Interactions

As of the most recent data, there are no specific drugs or drug classes documented to interact directly with the RNA5SP102 gene. Because it is a non-coding RNA, any indirect interactions would likely involve pathways affected by the gene’s downstream effects and related cellular processes, rather than direct pharmacological interactions.

### Pathways and Biological Processes

#### Involved Pathways:
1. **Ribosome Biogenesis:** RNA5SP102 is involved in the chemical modification of rRNA, vital for the proper assembly and function of ribosomes.
2. **Post-transcriptional Modifications:** The gene may participate in the processes of methylation and pseudouridination of rRNA, essential for ribosomal stability and function.
3. **Gene Regulation:** It may be involved in the regulatory networks that control ribosomal RNA synthesis and processing.

#### Biological Processes:
- **Nucleolar Structure and Function:** Contributes to the architecture and operational integrity of the nucleolus, essential for rRNA synthesis.
- **Cell Growth and Proliferation:** Since ribosome function is vital for protein synthesis, RNA5SP102 may indirectly influence cell growth and proliferation.

### Conclusion

While RNA5SP102 is primarily recognized as a small nucleolar RNA involved in rRNA modification, further research is necessary to elucidate its complete functional spectrum, particularly regarding aging processes and interactions with other biological systems or pharmacological agents. For future studies, databases such as the NCBI Gene database, UniProt, GeneCards, and Reactome may provide additional insights into RNA5SP102’s biological role and relevance in health and disease.
