### SNORD115-32 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** SNORD115-32  
**Gene Type:** Small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)  

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) like SNORD115-32 are primarily involved in the modification of other RNAs, particularly ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), which are essential for protein synthesis. These RNA molecules can also play roles in a variety of cellular processes. SNORD115-32 is a member of the SNORD115 family of snoRNAs, which are located in the nucleolus of the cell.

#### 1. Associated Genes
While specific associations may not always be explicitly stated in databases, SNORD115-32 is part of a broader cluster of similar snoRNAs. Its related genes within the SNORD115 family may include:
- SNORD115-1
- SNORD115-2
- SNORD115-3 
These snoRNAs are encoded at the same genomic locus and may share common functions in ribosome biogenesis.

Another associated gene is:
- **NOVA1** (neuronal RNA-binding protein), which has been shown to have regulatory interactions within certain neural contexts and could also relate to the functions of snoRNAs.

#### 2. Aging and Age-related Diseases
Information specifically connecting SNORD115-32 to aging or age-related diseases is limited. However, snoRNAs, in general, have been implicated in various cellular processes which could indirectly relate to aging. The dysregulation of snoRNAs has been observed in age-related diseases, including:
- Neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease)
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular diseases

Research is ongoing to delineate specific roles of snoRNAs in these conditions; therefore, while a direct correlation to SNORD115-32 may not be established, it is reasonable to consider that similar snoRNAs can be relevant to age-related cellular processes.

#### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there are no specific drugs or drug classes directly known to interact with SNORD115-32. However, the functional pathways and biological processes in which snoRNAs like SNORD115-32 are involved could potentially be affected by general RNA-modifying drugs or inhibitors of RNA-processing, but concrete data may be sparse.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
SNORD115-32 is primarily involved in:
- **Ribosome Biogenesis:** Facilitating the processing and modification of rRNA precursors.
- **RNA Modification:** Specifically, 2'-O-ribose methylation of rRNA and possibly other RNA species.

SnoRNAs play essential roles in the post-transcriptional modification of RNA, aiding in the maturation of rRNA molecules necessary for ribosome assembly, a critical function in protein synthesis. Consequently, they are indirectly involved in pathways related to cellular growth and proliferation.

### Summary
SnoRNA SNORD115-32 is an essential component of ribosomal RNA modification processes and, while not directly linked to specific drugs or mechanistic studies of aging, may share functional ties with other snoRNAs and cellular pathways that influence age-related biology. Further research is necessary to clarify its direct roles in disease and aging.
