Differential expression of methyltransferase METTL1 associates with death in a cohort of patients with triple negative breast cancer.
Keyword(s):
Whole genome profiling data of 226 patients with triple negative breast cancer using a published dataset (1) was stratified based on survival. When comparing the transcriptomes of 87 patients that expired versus 123 patients that survived, the methyltransferase like 1 METTL1 was the third most differentially expressed gene in the entire transcriptome. METTL1 mediates 7-methylguanosine modification of microRNAs and tRNAs (2,3,4,5,6). Increased expression of METTL1 is an indication that the disease course will likely result in fatality in patients with triple negative breast cancer and should be treated accordingly.
