In the text of this article, the references related to the works presented by Viegas et al. (reference 18) and by Simes et al. (reference 22) at the FASEB summer conference “Molecular, Structural & Clinical Aspects of Vitamin K & Vitamin K-Dependent Proteins” in 2011 have been removed. Although presented publicly (as posters) at the FASEB meeting, these works are not available to be referenced. Cancela et al. apologize to the authors of the posters noted above and for any confusion that this may have inadvertently caused to the readers.
Accordingly, the sentence on page 180 “GRP has also been found in blood cells (e.g., neutrophils, lymphocytes, and plasmocytes) either circulating or infiltrated in human lesions (19)” has been updated.
Accordingly, the citations to these works have been deleted from the article and the following changes have been made to the text:
1. The sentence on page 180 “GRP has also been found in blood cells (e.g., neutrophils, lymphocytes, and plasmocytes) either circulating or infiltrated in human lesions (19)” has been replaced with: “GRP has also been found in blood cells derived from the immune system (19), although their identification is still unclear.”
2. Reference 19 has been removed from the sentence “GRP was also detected in healthy mammary gland tissue, but its accumulation is greatly enhanced in several types of breast cancer (18,19)” and positioned at the end of the previous sentence “…such as in chronic kidney disease (2,13,19).
3. The following new references have been added:
18. GEO Profiles: gene expression profiles from curated datasets in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) repository. Available from www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geoprofiles.
22. Cavaco SI, Viegas C, Cordeiro O, Vareilles M, Silva T, Palma P, Simes D. Identification and characterization of GRP in articular cartilage and synovial fluid using a proteomic-based approach. Bone. 2011;48:S265.
All other statements in the paper are unaffected. The original paper, which was published online, has been updated to reflect this information.
