Interestingly, the total β-catenin percentage also displayed a strong association with the increased total percentage expression of vimentin (r′ = 0.53, p = 0.03) and N-cadherin (r′ = 058, p = 0.03) noted among IPF patients (Table 2, G and I). The gene discussed is CDH2; the disease is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
