Systematic expression analysis of m6A RNA methyltransferases in clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Abstract Objectives To investigate the regulation of the N‐6‐methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferases METTL3, METTL14, WTAP, KIAA1429, and METTL4, referred to as “m6A writers,” in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), and other RCC subtypes in respect of the potential prognostic value. Patients a...
