CDH1 and thyroid tumor: A study has shown that the BRAFV600E gene mutation in thyroid tumors can down-regulate the expression of E-cadherin and induce the occurrence of EMT, and its abnormal expression in thyroid tumors increases the secretion of TGF-β, which further induces the occurrence of EMT and invasion, manifested as decreased expression of E-cadherin [64, 65].
