### SNORD113-7 Gene Overview
**Gene Symbol:** SNORD113-7  
**Function:** SNORD113-7 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), classified under the C/D box snoRNAs, which are involved in the modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) through guiding methylation by interacting with target rRNA sequences. These snoRNAs play a crucial role in the biogenesis of ribosomes and are essential for proper ribosomal function.

### 1. Associated Genes
While SNORD113-7 itself may not directly list many associated genes, it is closely related to other snoRNA genes within the SNORD113 family. Its expression may be correlated with genes involved in ribosomal biogenesis and translational regulation, although specific associations are not extensively characterized. In general, snoRNAs can interact with the ribosome components they help modify, which includes genes coding for rRNA and ribosomal proteins.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Research on specific snoRNAs, including those in the SNORD113 family, suggests that they may play roles in cellular stress, proliferation, and apoptosis, which are processes related to aging. Abnormal expression of snoRNAs has been noted in various age-related conditions, although specific studies focusing on SNORD113-7 may be limited. Age-related diseases like cancer may involve dysregulation of snoRNA levels, including SNORD113, suggesting a potential indirect role in these diseases.

### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there are no specific drugs or drug classes that are known to interact directly with SNORD113-7. However, general insights into snoRNA function suggest that any therapy targeting ribosomal function or RNA metabolism could potentially influence the expression or activity of this gene. There is ongoing research regarding the role of intracellular RNA modifications and their implications for pharmacology, but specific drug associations are not yet well-defined.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
SNORD113-7 is primarily involved in the following biological processes:
- **Ribosome Biogenesis:** It plays a role in the modification of rRNA, which is crucial for the assembly and function of ribosomes.
- **RNA Methylation:** Specifically, it guides the 2'-O-ribose methylation of target RNA substrates, a crucial modification for rRNA processing and stability.
- **Regulation of Gene Expression:** While snoRNAs are primarily known for their roles in rRNA maturation, they may also indirectly regulate the expression of genes involved in ribosome assembly and function.

### Summary
SNORD113-7 is a critical component of the cellular machinery, contributing to ribosome biogenesis and rRNA modification. Its involvement in aging and age-related diseases is an area of active investigation, and although direct drug interactions are not established, further research may reveal more about its regulatory roles in health and disease.
