In the article titled, “Genetic loci that control the angiogenic response to basic fibroblast growth factor,” by Michael S. Rogers, Richard M. Rohan, Amy E. Birsner, and Robert J. D’Amato, appearing in FASEB J. July 2004 18:1050–1059 (doi:10.1096/fj.03-1241com), statistical data were incorrectly reported. The authors' statement appears below:
“Due to an error in the excel spreadsheet used to tabulate our raw data, an incorrect phenotype value was reported for the BXD-29 strain. The correct vessel length for that strain is 0.60 mm, and the correct vessel area is 0.72 mm2. When the correct data are used in mapping, the peak on chromosome 4, which we named AngFq1, is no longer statistically significant. This error also has smaller effects on other peaks; however, all other QTLs remain statistically significant. The authors regret the error and apologize for any lost effort that may have resulted.”
The revised data appears below:
