Despite no studies on the specific role and mechanism of KIAA1429 in MM, multiple studies have disclosed that KIAA1429 accelerates aerobic glycolysis and carcinogenesis in other cancers, like gastric cancer (Yang et al. 2021), oral squamous cell carcinoma (Xu et al. 2023a, b), and colorectal cancer (Li et al. 2022) in a m6A-dependent manner. This evidence concerns the gene VIRMA and colorectal cancer.
