Clinical Validity Scoring Notes and points

Variant/Case Evidence:

PMID: 28280134

  • Identified p.L51S variant in a father and son with Diamond-Blackfan anemia using WES

  • Variant is absent from gnomAD

  • Pre-rRNA processing evaluation in mononuclear cells from the proband showed an increase in the 36S pre-rRNA compared to wt RPL18 consistent with the known effects of a subset of large subunit RP defect on pre-rRNA processing

  • 0.1 + 0.5 (functional data) = 0.6 pts

PMID: 30503522

  • Identified p.L51S variant in an affected proband using WES

  • Same variant as above

  • 0.1 pt

Segregation Evidence:

Case/Control Evidence:

Experimental Evidence:

PMID: 32075953

  • Generated a RPL18 mutant line in zebrafish

  • Molecular characterization of this mutant line demonstrated that RPL18 deficiency mirrored the erythroid defects of Diamond-Blackfan anemia through a lack of mature red blood cells - 2 pts
