Over 25% of all DBA patients’ mutations are found in RPS19 and more than 40 different missense mutations and small in‐frame indels have been described in this gene (Boria et al., 2010; Konno et al., 2010; Ozono et al., 2016; Smetanina et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2015). Here, RPS19 is linked to Diamond-Blackfan anemia.
