EEF1A2 and neoplasm: Furthermore, we show that (1) DNA copy number at the EEF1A2 locus is unrelated to expression level, (2) there are no activating mutations in the eEF1A2 coding sequence in tumours where there is overexpression in the absence of gene amplification and (3) the methylation status of the EEF1A2 gene is unrelated to expression level.
