Genome-wide enrichment of m6A-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in the lipid loci

Background and Objective N6-methyladenosine(m6A)plays critical roles in many fundamental biological processes and a variety of diseases.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the m6ASNPs on lipid levels.Methods We examined the association of m6A-SNPs with lipid levels in a GWAS of 188,578 individuals.Furthermore,we performed eQTL and differential expression analyses to add additional information for the identified m6A-SNPs.
