Furthermore, gene expression analysis by querying GEO datasets (GSE57317 [36], GSE82307 [37], GSE31161 [38], and GSE19784 [35]) validated the significant positive correlation between ALKBH5 and TRAF1 expression in samples from MM patients (Fig. 5I) but not between ALKBH5 and PPL expression (Fig. S5M and N). This evidence concerns the gene PPL and Miyoshi myopathy.
