### SNORD115-34 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: SNORD115-34  
**Aliases**: This gene is part of the SNORD115 gene family, which is known for encoding small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). 

#### 1. Associated Genes
While specific associations for SNORD115-34 may not be widely published, snoRNAs like SNORD115-34 often play roles in the regulation of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) modification and can influence the expression of neighboring or related genes involved in nucleolar function. Other gene families related to SNORD115 include:
- **SNORD115 (aka, C/D box snoRNAs)**: The primary family from which SNORD115-34 derives.
- **Other snoRNA genes**: Such as SNORD116, which has been associated with genomic imprinting and is located in the same region in the human genome.

#### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Research into the specific implications of SNORD115-34 in aging or age-related diseases is limited. However, snoRNAs, including SNORD115-34, have been linked to:
- **Cellular senescence**: Alterations in snoRNA expression can influence ribosomal biogenesis and cellular aging.
- **Neurodevelopmental disorders**: Notably, aberrations in SNORD115 genes have been suggested to be related to conditions such as Prader-Willi Syndrome, which can have implications in longevity and various metabolic disorders.

#### 3. Drug and Drug Classes
Currently, there is no specific data indicating drugs or drug classes that directly interact with the SNORD115-34 gene. However, compounds that affect ribosomal function, RNA metabolism, or epigenetic regulators could indirectly influence the expression or function of snoRNAs, including SNORD115-34, due to their roles in RNA processing.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
SNORD115-34 is primarily involved in the following biological processes:
- **Ribosome biogenesis**: It is involved in the modification and processing of rRNA, essential for ribosomal function.
- **Gene expression regulation**: SnoRNAs are important in guiding methylation and pseudouridylation of target rRNAs.
- **Nuclear processing of RNA**: It plays a role in the nucleolar processing and modification of precursor rRNAs.

Given that SNORD115-34 is a small nucleolar RNA, its function may largely be indirect, influencing a broad range of cellular activities primarily through its role as part of the RNA modification machinery.

### Conclusion
While much remains to be thoroughly explored regarding the SNORD115-34 gene, particularly in the contexts of aging, disease associations, and pharmacological interactions, it is positioned as an important element of the fundamental machinery of ribosomal RNA modification and cellular homeostasis. Further research is essential to elucidate its potential roles in health and disease.
