The authors wish to retract the paper cited above (Haematologica 2007 Feb;92(2):153–62). Figure 2 in that paper was inappropriately reproduced from previously published paper, namely Toyooka S, Toyooka KO, Harada K, Miyajima K, Makarla P, Sathyanarayana UG, Yin J, Sato F, Shivapurkar N, Meltzer SJ, Gazdar AF. Aberrant methylation of the CDH13 (H-cadherin) promoter region in colorectal cancers and adenomas. Cancer Res. 2002 Jun 15;62(12):3382–6. The manipulation of the figure was performed by Dr. Román-Gómez. None of the other authors were involved in or were aware of these events. The authors apologize to the readers, reviewers, and editors of Haematologica for publishing this erroneous image.
