CORRIGENDUM: The expression of Wnt-1 inducible signaling pathway protein-2 in astrocy toma: Correlation between pathological grade and clinical outcome

摘要

Subsequently to the publication of the above paper, an interested reader brought to the readers' attention that some statements and primer sequences in the paper had apparently been presented incorrectly. The authors have considered the queries raised by the reader, and acknowledge that there were errors featured in the text of the paper and in the two Tables that are in need of correction; therefore, they wish to publish a corrigendum to rectify these issues. First, the opening sentence of the “Tissue slides" subsection of the Materials and methods section, in the left-hand column on p. 236, incorrectly stated that the number of normal brain paraffin-embedded samples was 14; the actual number of normal specimens was 15, in agreement with what was written in Table I. Secondly, in Table I on p. 237, the means of astrocytomas was calculated incorrectly, and the actual mean should have been written as 0.650 ± 0.138 (instead of 0.986±0.138); also, the actual number of astrocytomas of pathological grade WHO I in Table I should have been written as 22, not 23.
