### Overview of the WDR93 Gene

**Gene Symbol**: WDR93  
**Function**: The WDR93 gene is thought to encode a protein that exhibits oxidoreductase activity, particularly acting on NAD(P)H. It is predicted to play a role in the electron transport chain and is associated with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I.

### 1. Associated Genes
While the summaries provided do not list specific associated genes, genes involved in similar pathways or complexes may include:

- **NDUFAF1 (NADH:Ubiquinone Oxidoreductase Complex Assembly Factor 1)**: Involved in the assembly of complex I.
- **MT-ND1 (Mitochondrially Encoded NADH Dehydrogenase 1)**: A component of the mitochondrial complex I.
- **NDUFS1 (NADH Dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] Fe-S protein 1)**: Another component of complex I in the electron transport chain.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
While specific detailed studies directly linking WDR93 to aging or age-related diseases are limited, genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial function are often implicated in age-related conditions. Impairment of complex I activity can contribute to:

- **Mitochondrial Dysfunction**: Age-related decline in mitochondrial function contributes to diseases such as neurodegeneration (e.g., Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases).
- **Metabolic Disorders**: As mitochondrial function deteriorates with age, it can affect energy metabolism, possibly leading to conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity.

### 3. Drug Interactions
While there are no specific drugs or drug classes directly documented as interacting with the WDR93 gene, the following considerations are relevant:

- **Electron Transport Chain Inhibitors**: Drugs that affect mitochondrial function, such as rotenone (which specifically inhibits complex I), may indirectly impact WDR93 activity due to its association with mitochondrial complex I.
- **Antioxidants**: Supplements like Coenzyme Q10, which are known to support mitochondrial function, could also have implications for the proper functioning of pathways associated with WDR93.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
WDR93 is implicated in several important biological processes, including:

- **Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain**: Specifically, the electron transport chain wherein it likely participates in complex I functionality.
- **Energy Production**: Through its involvement in cellular respiration and ATP synthesis.
- **Oxidative Stress Response**: As an oxidoreductase, it may play a role in managing oxidative stress at the mitochondrial level.

### Conclusion
The WDR93 gene appears to be a crucial player in mitochondrial bioenergetics, with implications for aging and various age-related diseases due to its role in the electron transport chain. Further research may uncover specific interactions and underscore its significance in human health and disease.
