Overexpression of eIF4E was associated with eIF4E gene amplification in breast cancer specimens. No overexpression or gene amplification was detected in benign breast tissues. eIF4E gene amplification may be one mechanism for eIF4E oncoprotein overexpression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
