Accordingly, we derived 19 typical m6A-related genes (including METTL3, METTL14, RBM15B, RBM15, MTAP, YTHDC1, YTHDC2, ZC3H13, YTHDF1, YTHDF2, YTHDF3, IGF2BP1, IGF2BP2, IGF2BP3, HNRNPC, HNRNPA2B1, RBMX, ALKBH5, and FTO) from a study on the clinical significance and molecular characterization of m6A modulators of 33 cancer types in the TCGA pan-cancer project (Li et al., 2019). Here, YTHDF2 is linked to cancer.
