Evidence Based on an Integrative Analysis of Multi-Omics Data on METTL7A as a Molecular Marker in Pan-Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Methyltransferase-like protein 7A (METTL7A), an RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase, has attracted much attention as it has been found to be closely associated with various types of tumorigenesis and progression. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of METTL7A from a pan-cancer perspective using multi-omics data. The gene ontology enrichment analysis of METTL7A-binding proteins revealed a close association with methylation and lipid metabolism. We then explored the expression of METTL7A in normal tissues, cell lines, different subtypes and cancers, and found that METTL7A was differentially expressed in various cancer species, tumor molecular subtypes and immune subtypes. Evaluation of the diagnostic and prognostic value of METTL7A in pan-cancer revealed that METTL7A ha
