This causes the loss of the initiation codon. Another alteration leading to initiation codon loss in RPS24, referred to as c.1A>G, was identified in a 26 year old female with Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) who was transfusion dependent and had short stature and dysmorphic facial features. Functional studies of fibroblasts showed a reduction in protein and impaired cell growth in cells with this mutation (Badhai J et al, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 2009 Oct; 1792(10):1036-42). It was also reported in another DBA patient (Ghemlas I et al, J. Med. Genet. 2015 Sep; 52(9):575-84). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since sequence variations that modify the initiation codon (ATG) are expected to cause a shift in the mRNA reading frame, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294).
