The EMT-related genes were LRPPRC, AGR2, CLDN4, CRIP1, DSP, ELF3, JUP, KRT8, KRT18, KRT19, FAM102A, TACSTD2, EPCAM, PEBP1, PSMD8, RAN, SNRPC, SPTAN1, EZR, DDR1, MLPH, and WDR34. In which, gene SNRPC, upregulated in CTC clusters, is a metastatic novel biomarker in breast cancer. Here, KRT8 is linked to breast cancer.
