The SF3B1 c.1873C>T (p.Arg625Cys; p.R625C) variant has been observed repeatedly in somatic cancers and is recorded in ClinVar, while published studies identify codon 625 as a recurrently mutated SF3B1 hotspot.

gnomad_v2 ↗ gnomad_v4 ↗In published functional studies, SF3B1 hotspot-mutant tumors and model systems showed altered alternative splicing and abnormal 3' splice-site selection, supporting functional importance of the codon 625 region, although exact p.Arg625Cys assay-level evidence remains limited.
