The **SNORD113-6** gene is a member of the small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) family, specifically classified as a C/D box snoRNA. These types of snoRNAs are involved primarily in the modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), particularly in the process of 2'-O-ribose methylation and pseudouridylation. SNORD113-6 is part of the SNORD113 family, which encompasses several snoRNAs that share significant sequence homology.

### 1. Associated Genes
While specific genes directly associated with SNORD113-6 aren't usually highlighted in summary databases, snoRNAs, including SNORD113-6, often have functional interactions with ribosomal genes and rRNA processing enzymes. There may also be implications with genes involved in cellular growth and proliferation pathways as these processes require efficient ribosome biogenesis.

### 2. Aging and Age-related Diseases
Current literature does not provide a significant direct association between SNORD113-6 and aging or age-related diseases. However, snoRNAs have been implicated in the regulation of gene expression, and disruptions in rRNA modification can affect cellular homeostasis and may influence processes associated with aging. Changes in snoRNA expression profiles have been linked to aging and age-related neurodegenerative diseases. The specific role of SNORD113-6 in these contexts remains an area for further research.

### 3. Drug Interactions
As of the last update, there are no well-established drugs or drug classes known to interact specifically with SNORD113-6. Nevertheless, given its role in rRNA modification, it could theoretically be indirectly influenced by drugs that affect overall RNA synthesis and function or cellular events related to ribosome biogenesis.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
SNORD113-6 is involved in the following biological processes and pathways:
- **Ribosome Biogenesis**: Through its role in modifying rRNA, SNORD113-6 contributes to the overall production and maturation of ribosomes, which are essential for protein synthesis.
- **RNA Processing**: It plays a role in the processing of pre-ribosomal RNA.
- **Cellular Growth**: Since ribosomes are crucial for protein synthesis, the activity of SNORD113-6 may indirectly impact cellular growth and proliferation pathways.

It is important to note that knowledge of microRNAs and snoRNAs is rapidly evolving. Ongoing research may yield new insights into the specific roles of SNORD113-6 in health and disease, and its involvement in aging and pharmacological aspects remains an open field for exploration.
