### SNORD65C Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** SNORD65C  
**Gene Type:** Small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)

#### 1. Associated Genes
While specific associated genes for SNORD65C are typically not extensively documented, snoRNAs are known to play roles in guiding the modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and other non-coding RNAs. As such, snoRNAs may interact functionally with specific ribosomal protein genes and other components of the nucleolar machinery, although individual associations may not be explicitly outlined. Research on the roles of snoRNAs in gene regulation suggests potential links to genes involved in ribosome biogenesis and related RNA processing pathways.

#### 2. Aging and Age-Related Diseases
As of the last update in October 2023, direct associations of SNORD65C specifically with aging or age-related diseases have not been established in major databases. However, since snoRNAs can influence ribosome biogenesis and cellular stress responses, there may be indirect connections with processes that affect aging, such as cellular senescence or the dysregulation of protein synthesis. The overall role of snoRNAs in cellular homeostasis suggests potential involvement in age-related decline in tissue function, but specific studies would be needed to establish direct associations.

#### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there are no known specific drugs or drug classes that directly target or interact with SNORD65C. Since it is a small nucleolar RNA involved in ribosomal RNA modification, its role is generally more related to fundamental cellular processes rather than direct pharmacological targets. Future research might provide insights into any indirect effects of treatments that modulate gene expression or general RNA metabolism.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
SNORD65C is involved in the following biological processes:

- **Ribosomal RNA Modification:** It is a member of the snoRNA family, guiding the methylation of ribosomal RNA, essential for the correct assembly and function of ribosomes.
- **Ribosome Biogenesis:** SNORD65C contributes to the maturation of rRNA, which is a critical step in ribosome assembly and function.
- **Nucleolar Processes:** Involved in various cellular nucleolar activities, perhaps affecting cellular stress responses and protein synthesis regulation, as are other snoRNAs.
  
### Conclusion
The SNORD65C gene is a small nucleolar RNA that plays a significant role in the modification of ribosomal RNA. While specific associations with aging, age-related diseases, and drug interactions are not extensively documented, its involvement in fundamental biological processes related to ribosome biogenesis suggests potential relevance in broader cellular contexts. Future studies could illuminate its roles in health and disease further.
