Integration Analysis of m6A Regulators and m6A-Related Genes in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Background: N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation of eukaryotic mRNA is involved in the progression of various tumors. We aimed to investigate m6A-related genes and m6A regulators in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their association with prognosis in HCC. Methods: We downloaded liver cancer sa...

We aimed to investigate m6A-related genes and m6A regulators in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their association with prognosis in HCC. Methods: We downloaded liver cancer sample data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the International Cancer Genome Consortium database. A total of 21 m6A regulators and 1258 m6A-related genes were then analyzed by consensus clustering, Spearman’s correlation, GO, KEGG, LASSO Cox regression, and univariate Cox regression analyses.
