Epithelial‐mesenchymal transition is a common phenomenon and a crucial step in the progression and dissemination of cancer metastasis.49 Functionally, myoferlin can induce EMT via up‐regulating mesenchymal cell markers, such as fibronectin and vimentin, and co‐ordinately down‐regulating epithelial markers, such as E‐cadherin.35, 40. The gene discussed is MYOF; the disease is cancer.
