RPL30

Chr 8

ribosomal 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.
