We constructed a gene model for prediction of IPF based on 11 candidate m6A regulators [leucine-rich PPR motif-containing protein (LRPPRC), METTL3, FTO alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase (FTO), methyltransferase-like 14/16 (METTL14/METTL16), protein virilizer homolog (VIRMA), c-cbl-like 1 (CBLL1), fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 (FMR1), YTH domain containing 1/2 (YTHDC1/YTHDC2) and zinc finger CCCH-type containing 13 (ZC3H13)]. Here, FTO is linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
