A significantly strong correlation was observed between HK3 gene and 16 EMT-related genes (VASN, GREM1, TGFB3, TGFB1, LOXL3, HGF, SNAI2, FAM101B, SFRP2, FLNA, WWTR1, SFRP1, GLIPR2, NFATC1, TWIST1, and COL1A1), both in paired as well as pool of tumor samples. This evidence concerns the gene TGFB1 and neoplasm.
