Soon after, it was discovered that approximately one fourth of Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) patients harbor a mutation in the gene encoding the ribosomal protein (RP) S19 (or eS19 according to the new nomenclature [5]) [6], suggesting that the term ribosomopathy could be shared by more than a single disease. The gene discussed is RPS19; the disease is Diamond-Blackfan anemia.
