Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wilms tumor is a frequently diagnosed renal cancer among children with unclear genetic causes. N6-methyladenosine (m6 A) modification genes play critical roles in tumorigenesis. However, whether genetic variations of m6 A modification genes predispose to Wilms tumor remain unclear. ALKBH5 (AlkB homolog 5), a crucial member of m6 A modification genes, encodes a demethylase that functions to reverse m6...
