### RNU6-104P Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol**: RNU6-104P  
**Type**: This gene encodes a small nuclear RNA (snRNA) molecule, specifically a member of the U6 spliceosomal RNA family, which plays a crucial role in the splicing of pre-mRNA by forming part of the spliceosome.

#### 1. Associated Genes
While RNU6-104P is primarily recognized for its role in RNA splicing, it is part of a larger family of U6 snRNAs that can have functional interactions with various other RNA processing genes and splicing factors. Though specific gene associations are not always clearly defined or listed in databases like NCBI, genes involved in spliceosome composition (such as **SNRNP or SNRPE** coding genes) may have interdependencies or functional relationships.

#### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
As of the last available data, there are no direct associations specifically linking RNU6-104P to aging or age-related diseases in well-characterized literature. However, snRNAs, including members of the U6 family, often play crucial roles in the correct splicing of mRNA. Impairments in spliceosomal function can be implicated in various age-related diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancers, suggesting that abnormalities in the pathways involving RNU6-104P might indirectly contribute to these conditions.

#### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there are no specific drugs or drug classes directly reported to interact with RNU6-104P. However, it is important to note that compounds affecting RNA processing or splicing may have an indirect effect. For instance, small molecule splicing modulators (like **E7107** or **Pladienolide**) may influence the function of snRNAs, including U6 family members.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
RNU6-104P is primarily involved in the following biological processes and pathways:

- **mRNA Splicing**: As a component of the spliceosome, RNU6-104P is essential for the removal of introns from pre-mRNA.
- **Regulation of Gene Expression**: By facilitating accurate splicing, RNU6-104P indirectly participates in the regulation of gene expression, impacting the stability and translation of mRNA.
- **Nuclear RNA Processing**: It is involved in various pre-mRNA processing events, contributing to broader cellular RNA metabolic pathways.

Overall, while RNU6-104P may not yet have extensive direct associations with specific diseases or drug targets, its fundamental role in RNA processing suggests it is crucial for maintaining cellular function and gene regulation, which are vital across the lifespan. As research evolves, further insights may emerge regarding its implications in aging or disease pathogeneses.
