Abstract excerpt
Despite recent advances in the prevention of coronary heart disease, the mortality rate of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains high, which has become a substantial public health issue. Methyltransferase-like protein 16 (METTL16), as a newly discovered m6A methyltransferase, may be related to cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, a 6-base-pair insertion/deletion (del) polymorphism (rs58928048) in the...
