### SNORA35B Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: SNORA35B  

**Description**: SNORA35B (Small Nucleolar RNA, C/D Box 35B) is a gene that encodes a small nucleolar RNA that is involved in the modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Such RNAs play critical roles in the biogenesis of ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis in all forms of life.

### 1. Associated Genes

While specific associations may not be detailed in the summaries, small nucleolar RNAs like SNORA35B often work in conjunction with other genes involved in RNAP (RNA Pol II) function, rRNA methylation, and ribosome assembly. Relevant associated genes may include:

- **NOP58**: involved in the processing of precursor rRNA and functioning in nucleolar structure.
- **NOP56**: another nucleolar protein that associates with snoRNPs (small nucleolar ribonucleoproteins).

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases

Research on the specific role of SNORA35B in aging and age-related diseases has not been extensively characterized; however, small nucleolar RNAs have been implicated in cellular aging processes. For instance:

- Altered expression of snoRNAs has been noted in various age-related conditions such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. 
- Increased levels of certain snoRNAs have been correlated with cellular stress responses that are functionally affected during aging.

The role of SNORA35B specifically in aging has not been explicitly established in the literature.

### 3. Drug Interactions

Although specific drugs directly interacting with the SNORA35B gene may not be well characterized, small nucleolar RNAs have the potential to be influenced by various classes of therapeutics that target RNA synthesis or modify cellular processes, such as:

- **Antisense oligonucleotides**: These are designed to bind to specific RNA sequences. 
- **Cancer therapeutics**: Some chemotherapeutics exert effects on RNA molecules, which could indirectly affect the expression or function of snoRNAs.

No specific drug or drug class is currently established for targeting SNORA35B directly.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes

SNORA35B is involved in several key biological processes:

- **Ribosome biogenesis**: This is the primary pathway associated with snoRNAs including SNORA35B, where it participates in the methylation of rRNA.
- **RNA processing**: It contributes to the processing steps that yield mature rRNA from precursors.
- **SnRNP assembly**: It is involved in the assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, which are critical for splicing and other RNA-related functions.
