In the present study, five m6A regulatory factors have been revealed, namely heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1(HNRNPA2B1), heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein C (HNRNPC), Vir like m6A methyltransferase associated protein (KIAA1429/VIRMA), RNA binding motif protein 15 (RBM15) and methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3), which are closely related to the overall survival (OS) of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). The gene discussed is HNRNPA2B1; the disease is lung adenocarcinoma.
