Objective: MRPS24 (Mitochondrial Ribosomal Protein S24) belongs to the mitochondrial ribosomal protein family, which participates in the protein synthesis of the mitochondrion. However, the relationship of MRPS24 with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remained unknown. We aimed to identify its immunological and functional mechanisms in LUAD. Methods: The analysis of MRPS24 expression, clinical features, diagnosis, prognosis, function analysis, genetic alteration, copy number variations, methylation, and tumor microenvironment was investigated by the TCGA, UCSC Xena, GEO, HPA, GEPIA, cBioPortal, MethSurv, TIMER, TIMER2.0, and TISIDB databases. Results: MRPS24 was found to be more abundant in LUAD tumor tissue than in normal tissue. High levels of MRPS24 expression were found to be an independent prognostic factor by multivariate analysis. Functional analysis revealed that MRPS24 expression was associated with the immune, cell cycle and methylation. MRPS24 methylation level was inversely linked with its expression (p
