title: E1AF expression levels are not associated with prognosis in human breast cancer.
abstract: E1AF is a transcription factor involved in regulation of several metastasis-associated genes, and is associated with overexpression of HER2/neu. We were unable to find a clear prognostic value of E1AF expression in human breast cancer. Furthermore, no association of E1AF levels with HER2/neu mRNA levels, hormone receptor status, histological grade, tumor size, or lymph node involvement was found.
