Furthermore, pancreatic cancer patients with lower METTL3, METTL14, RBMX, FTO, ALKBH5, YTHDF1, and YTHDC1 mRNA expression levels or higher VIRMA, HNRNPA2B1, EIF3A, IGF2BP1, IGF2BP2, and IGF2BP3 mRNA expression levels had significantly poorer OS (P < 0.05, Fig. 6C, D). Here, EIF3A is linked to familial pancreatic carcinoma.
