### RUSC1-AS1 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: RUSC1-AS1  
**Description**: The RUSC1-AS1 gene is classified as a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that may have a role in regulating gene expression. The designation of "dubious CDS prediction" indicates uncertainty regarding its functional coding potential; it is primarily characterized as a non-coding RNA with unclear roles.

### Additional Associations
1. **Associated Genes**: While RUSC1-AS1 may not have direct associations mentioned in the summaries provided, it is positioned within genomic contexts that may involve neighboring genes. One gene of interest is RUSC1 (Ras and Rab Interactor 1), which is located near RUSC1-AS1. Given the nature of lncRNAs, RUSC1-AS1 may act as a regulatory element affecting the expression of RUSC1 or other nearby genes.
  
2. **Known Associations**: Research into the interactions in the context of specific cellular environments or diseases may reveal other associated genes, but such specifics can be sparse.

### Aging and Age-Related Diseases
- Currently, direct data linking RUSC1-AS1 specifically to aging or age-related diseases is limited. However, since lncRNAs often play roles in cellular processes such as stress response, apoptosis, and inflammation, indirect associations could exist, warranting further studies to clarify any role in longevity or age-related pathologies.

### Drug Interactions
- As of the latest information, there are no known drugs or drug classes specifically interacting with the RUSC1-AS1 gene. Further pharmacological studies may illuminate potential interactions in the context of disease or therapeutic interventions.

### Pathways and Biological Processes
- RUSC1-AS1 primarily functions through regulatory mechanisms rather than direct pathways. Possible biological processes it may influence include:
  - **Gene Regulation**: Modulating the expression of genes associated with cellular stress responses and signaling pathways, potentially influencing processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation.
  - **RNA Interference**: LncRNAs often participate in pathways such as miRNA sponging, affecting gene silencing and expression.

### Summary
The RUSC1-AS1 gene is notable as a long non-coding RNA with potential regulatory roles in gene expression. Its relationships with other genetic components, drug interactions, and contributions to biological pathways remain areas for further research, particularly in the context of aging and related diseases. Understanding RUSC1-AS1's function and implications may ultimately provide insights into its role in health and pathology.
