In the Review article by Jonathan K Mitchell & David R McGivern, ‘Mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis in chronic hepatitis C’, which appeared in the July 2014 issue of Hepatic Oncology (Hepatic Oncol. 1[3], 293–307 [2014]), the reference notes were published incorrectly. The correct reference notes are:
[6–8] Identification of driver genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
[20–22] Humanized mouse models of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Future advances in this field may allow more authentic modeling of HCV-associated liver disease (including carcinogenesis) during chronic infection.
[24] First report demonstrating HCC development in mice with liver-specific expression of HCV protein.
[51] Downregulation of a host tumor suppressor in the context of HCV infection.
[88,89] Identification of host genetic factors that increase the risk of progression to HCC in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
