### FAM114A1 Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: FAM114A1  
**Description**: FAM114A1 (Family with sequence similarity 114 member A1) is a protein-coding gene believed to play a role in the development of neuronal cells. The gene undergoes alternative splicing, producing multiple transcript variants that may have different functional roles. 

#### 1. Associated Genes
While specific associations outside of the FAM114A1 family are not explicitly mentioned in the summaries provided, it is common for genes involved in similar biological processes to show functional relationships with other genes, particularly within neuronal development pathways. These may include:

- **NEUROD1**: Involved in neuronal differentiation.
- **NTRK2**: Associated with neurotrophin signaling.
- **MAPK1**: Plays a role in signal transduction pathways that influence neuronal development.

Additional studies may uncover more connections, especially in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders or diseases.

#### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Research on FAM114A1 in the context of aging and age-related diseases is limited. However, given its putative role in neuronal cell development, it may be relevant in research pertaining to:

- **Neurodegeneration**: Altered gene expression during aging or in neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease).
- **Neurodevelopmental Disorders**: Any dysregulation of genes involved in neuronal cell development may have implications in conditions like autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia.

Further targeted studies would be required to clarify any specific associations with aging or age-related pathophysiology.

#### 3. Drug Interactions
As of the last knowledge update in October 2023, specific drugs or drug classes directly interacting with FAM114A1 have not been established. However, as a gene potentially involved in neuronal development, it might be of interest in studies related to:

- **Neuroprotective agents**: These could indirectly influence the pathways involving FAM114A1 during neurodevelopment or neurodegeneration.
- **Psychotropic medications**: Investigating how alterations in neuronal genes may respond to treatments prescribed for mental health conditions.

Clinical and pharmacological research might reveal such interactions, but direct links are not currently documented.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
FAM114A1 is likely involved in various biological processes and signaling pathways, including but not limited to:

- **Neuronal Development**: Essential for the proper formation and differentiation of neurons.
- **Cell Cycle Regulation**: Its role may intersect with the factors that influence cell proliferation and differentiation in neural tissues.
- **Neurogenesis**: Potential involvement in pathways that govern the generation of new neurons from neural stem cells.

The exact pathways are yet to be elucidated in detail and could vary based on the context of alternative splicing and genetic interactions.

### Conclusion
FAM114A1 is a gene with potential significance in neuronal cell development, with implications for understanding neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. More extensive studies are needed to define its roles and associations thoroughly, especially in the context of aging and pharmacological interactions. Researchers are encouraged to monitor ongoing studies for new insights related to this gene.
