As shown in Figure 5, the expression of METTL14 in PBMCs from SLE patients positively correlated with ALKBH5 (rs = .6817, p < .001), YTHDF2 (rs = .7287, p < .001), and the expression of ALKBH5 in PBMCs from SLE patients positively correlated with YTHDF2 (rs = .7268, p < .001). This evidence concerns the gene METTL14 and systemic lupus erythematosus.
