Analysis of the role of METTL5 as a hub gene in lung adenocarcinoma based on a weighted gene co-expression network

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a frequently diagnosed malignant tumor that is highly invasive and lethal. The prognosis of patients with LUAD still needs to be improved, as conventional treatment is remarkably well tolerated. In this study, the expression profile of LUAD in the TCGA database was used...
