Korsching et al. [89] showed that vimentin expression correlated with tumour grade, the expression of alpha smooth muscle actin (ASMA) and also with the expression of genes including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), cytokeratin 5 (CK5) and cytokeratin 10 (CK10), which are all implicated in basal breast cancer. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is neoplasm.
