ABSTRACT
We describe a 10-month-old female with Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) who presented with macrocytic anemia and reticulocytopenia. Whole exome sequencing revealed a de novo intronic variant in RPL27 (NM_000988.3c.-2-1G > A p.?) previously reported in one individual with DBA. The existing literature suggests the RPL27 gene encodes for a ribosomal protein involved in pre-rRNA processing and erythropoiesis. Further research is needed to assess the functional significance of this variant and its implications for genetic testing and therapeutic strategies. This case expands the clinical spectrum of RPL27-associated DBA and highlights the importance of reclassifying this gene to likely pathogenic.
