The predictive significance of a 5-m6A RNA methylation regulator signature in colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer attacks the colon or rectum, with increasing morbidity and mortality globally. The RNA modification 6-methyladenine (m6A) is related to RNA modifications, playing a critical role in colorectal cancer. We aimed to identify prognostic signatures for colorectal cancer using risk prediction algorithms, and to validate these signatures using independent datasets and clinical samples. In this study, 175 cases in GSE17536 were assigned into two clusters using consistent clustering and PCA analysis. A multivariate Cox risk regression model revealed that among 21 m6A RNA methylation regulators, RBM15B, FTO, IGF2BP2, ZCCHC4, and KIAA1429 were remarkably associated with colorectal cancer patients' overall survival (OS); however, Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival assessment showed no signif
