### Gene Overview: HAUS6P1

**Symbol:** HAUS6P1  
**Description:** The HAUS6P1 gene is a pseudogene associated with the HAUS (Hauck et al. Actin filament nucleation) complex, which is involved in the regulation of cellular processes such as mitosis, cell division, and the stability of microtubules.

### 1. Associated Genes
While detailed literature on specific genes associated with HAUS6P1 may be limited due to its status as a pseudogene, the following genes are commonly recognized as being part of the HAUS complex or related pathways:
- **HAUS6:** Coding for a member of the HAUS complex.
- **HAUS2, HAUS3, HAUS4, HAUS5, HAUS7, HAUS8:** These are also members of the HAUS complex that are involved in similar biological functions related to microtubule stability and nucleation.

### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
Research into pseudogenes, including HAUS6P1, often focuses on their regulatory roles rather than direct protein coding functions. However, given that HAUS complex genes are involved in cell division and stability of the mitotic spindle, any dysregulation could potentially have implications in aging and age-related diseases. Specifically:
- **Cancer:** Alterations in mitotic processes and microtubule dynamics are commonly observed in cancerous cells, which may indirectly link HAUS6P1 to tumorigenesis and cancer progression.
- **Neurodegenerative Diseases:** Given the importance of cellular stability, dysregulation in mitosis has been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, although specific studies linking HAUS6P1 to these diseases may be scarce.

### 3. Drug Interactions
Due to HAUS6P1 being classified as a pseudogene, there are no direct drug interactions reported for this gene. However, drugs affecting the mitotic process or microtubule stability (e.g., taxanes such as Paclitaxel) may indirectly influence the pathways in which HAUS complex members operate. No specific drug classes directly interacting with HAUS6P1 itself have been identified in the literature.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
HAUS6P1, as part of the HAUS complex, is involved in several key biological processes:
- **Microtubule Nucleation:** Participation in the assembly and disassembly of microtubules, crucial for mitosis and cell shape maintenance.
- **Mitotic Spindle Stabilization:** The HAUS complex, along with HAUS6P1, contributes to the proper formation and function of the mitotic spindle, which ensures accurate chromosome segregation during cell division.
- **Cell Cycle Regulation:** Implications in the control of the cell cycle, particularly during the M phase, highlighting its potential role in mitotic checkpoints.

Overall, further research would be necessary to delineate specific associations between HAUS6P1 and the outlined factors, particularly in terms of direct influences on aging and disease mechanisms, as well as precise drug interactions.
