Research into the tumorigenic role of m6A in breast cancer has linked m6A-regulators such as METTL3, ALKBH5, FTO, and YTHDF2 to many facets of breast cancer tumorigenesis such as cell proliferation, survival, and cancer stem cell pluripotency 23-26, 36. The gene discussed is ALKBH5; the disease is breast carcinoma.
