Analysis of the TCGA-LIHC cohort and the cross-linking and immunoprecipitation high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) data reported previously 27 revealed that the METTL3, METTL14, and WTAP proteins potentially bind to MALAT1, which is linked to HCC pathogenesis (Fig.3F). The gene discussed is METTL3; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
