In addition to EEF1A2, our findings support the notion that EEF1A1 might also play a pro-tumorigenic role in progression of certain cancers such as liver cancer, kidney cancer, gliomas and glioblastomas, although its expression seems to be a predictor of good prognosis in most of the cancers (breast, lung, brain, kidney). The gene discussed is EEF1A1; the disease is liver cancer.
