The NM_001018.5(RPS15):c.140G>A (p.Arg47Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The gene RPS15 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 2 driver citations). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000161 (AC=23) in the gnomAD database across 1,425,242 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000661. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 9.32). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R47P: Benign (ClinVar VariationId 440242, 2 stars)

Genes affected

RPS15 (HGNC:10388): (ribosomal protein S15) Ribosomes, the organelles that catalyze protein synthesis, consist of a small 40S subunit and a large 60S subunit. Together these subunits are composed of 4 RNA species and approximately 80 structurally distinct proteins. This gene encodes a ribosomal protein that is a component of the 40S subunit. The protein belongs to the S19P family of ribosomal proteins. It is located in the cytoplasm. This gene has been found to be activated in various tumors, such as insulinomas, esophageal cancers, and colon cancers. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed through the genome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
