RPL30
Chr 8ribosomal protein L30
Also known as: L30, eL30
RPL30 encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the large 60S ribosomal subunit responsible for protein synthesis. Mutations cause Diamond-Blackfan anemia, an autosomal dominant ribosomopathy characterized by congenital bone marrow failure with predominantly red blood cell aplasia and growth retardation. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, reflecting its essential role in ribosome function.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
More LoF-intolerant than ~75% of genes
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
