### RNU6-964P Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** RNU6-964P  
**Type:** Non-coding RNA  
**Location:** Human chromosome (exact coordinates depend on the assembly version used).

### 1. Associated Genes

RNU6-964P is part of a larger family of small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). While RNU6-964P itself is not typically linked to specific protein-coding genes, it is associated with other members of the U6 small nuclear RNA family, particularly those involved in spliceosomal function. Related genes may include other U6 snRNA variants and genes coding for proteins involved in RNA processing, such as:

- **RNU6-1**, **RNU6-2**: Other U6 snRNA genes involved in the spliceosome.
- **SNRNP70**, **SNRNP200**: Protein genes involved in spliceosomal processes.

### 2. Aging and Age-related Diseases

As of the latest available data (up to October 2023), direct associations of RNU6-964P with aging or age-related diseases are not well characterized. However, small nuclear RNAs, including RNU6 family members, generally play critical roles in mRNA splicing and post-transcriptional regulation. Dysregulation of these processes has been implicated in various age-related conditions, including:

- **Neurodegenerative diseases:** Altered RNA processing may contribute to disease mechanisms in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
- **Cancer:** Altered splicing patterns are often observed in tumors, which may change with age as genetic stability decreases.

Further studies might elucidate specific roles or mechanisms connecting RNU6-964P to aging or related diseases.

### 3. Drug Interactions

Currently, there are no specific drugs or drug classes known to solely interact with the RNU6-964P gene. However, general therapeutics affecting RNA splicing or modulators of RNA processing machinery could indirectly implicate pathways involving RNU6-964P. These might include:

- **Antisense oligonucleotides:** Used in therapies targeting splicing defects.
- **Small molecules affecting spliceosome function:** Such as certain chemotherapy agents that target RNA splicing in cancer contexts.

### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes

RNU6-964P is primarily involved in the following pathways and biological processes:

- **mRNA Splicing:** As a component of the spliceosome, RNU6-964P participates in the removal of introns from precursor mRNA (pre-mRNA) to form the mature mRNA necessary for protein synthesis.
- **RNA Processing:** It is involved in broader RNA maturation processes, alongside other snRNAs.
- **Nuclear RNA Transport:** Involves the movement of RNA species from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

Further research may elucidate additional pathways or novel roles of RNU6-964P in cellular and molecular contexts. 

### Summary

The RNU6-964P gene is a member of the U6 snRNA family, playing critical roles in RNA splicing and processing. While associations with aging or specific diseases are not well defined at this moment, its fundamental functions in gene expression regulation are essential to many biological processes. There remain unexplored areas regarding drug interactions and specific gene associations that could yield further insights into its significance in health and disease contexts.
