CD112 is an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-related and immunological biomarker in pan-cancer

Abstract Background: The nectin adhesion molecule CD112, an important component of tumor progression, belongs to the nectin family. However, a comprehensive evaluation of its clinical relevance and mechanism in various cancers is yet to be conducted. Methods: This investigation fully examined the relationship between prognosis and CD112 expression. We clarified the function of CD112 in tumor immunity by employing The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases. This involved examining its connections to tumor mutation burden (TMB), DNA
