### RNU6-980P Gene Overview

**Gene Symbol:** RNU6-980P  
**Type:** Small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA)  
**Location:** Located on chromosome 6, this gene belongs to the U6 small nuclear RNA family and is involved in the modification of ribosomal RNA and other non-coding RNAs.

### Additional Information

#### 1. Associated Genes
While the summaries from NCBI and UniProt may not list specific associated genes, snoRNAs like RNU6-980P are generally linked to various other snoRNAs and non-coding RNAs, particularly those involved in ribosome biogenesis. In terms of genomic context, other closely located or functionally related small nucleolar RNA genes that may be associated include:
- RNU6-1
- RNU6-2
- Other members of the U6 snoRNA family.

#### 2. Aging or Age-Related Diseases
As a snoRNA, RNU6-980P is involved in post-transcriptional modification processes, particularly methylation. While specific studies linking RNU6-980P directly to aging or age-related diseases might not be abundant, it can be inferred that dysregulation in snoRNA activity may contribute to age-related decline in cellular function. Small nucleolar RNAs in general have been linked to cellular senescence, cancer biology, and age-related transcriptome alterations.

#### 3. Drug Interactions
Currently, there are no well-established drugs or drug classes that have been definitively shown to interact with the RNU6-980P gene. However, compounds that affect RNA biology, such as small molecules targeting RNA-protein interactions or epigenetic modulators, may indirectly influence the expression and function of snoRNAs, including RNU6-980P.

#### 4. Pathways and Biological Processes
RNU6-980P is involved in several critical biological processes, including:
- **Ribosome Biogenesis:** It plays a role in the processing and modification of pre-ribosomal RNA, which is crucial for the formation of ribosomes.
- **RNA Modification:** As a snoRNA, RNU6-980P is implicated in the site-specific 2'-O-methylation and pseudouridylation of rRNA.
- **Cellular RNA Processing:** It may be involved in various RNA processing pathways, contributing to mRNA splicing and the maturation of other non-coding RNAs.

### Conclusion
While RNU6-980P is a less-characterized gene, it is an integral part of the small nucleolar RNA family contributing to ribosome biogenesis and RNA modification. Further research is necessary to elucidate its specific roles in aging and associated pathologies, as well as its interactions with potential therapeutic agents.
