In an article1 titled “Branched rolling circle amplification method for measuring serum circulating microRNA levels for early breast cancer detection” by Tingting Fan, Yu Mao, Qinsheng Sun, Feng Liu, Jin, Shun Lin, Yajie Liu, Junwei Cui, Yuyang Jiang, the Affiliation, Abstract, Results section and Figure 6 should be changed as follows:

1. The affiliation of Yu Mao should be:

School of Food Science and Biological Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei, China

2. In Abstract:

Four c‐miRNAs, c‐miRNA16 (c‐miR‐16), c‐miRNA21 (c‐miR‐21), c‐miRNA155 (c‐miR‐155), and c‐miRNA195 (c‐miR‐195) were isolated from the serum of 49 breast cancer patients (stages I‐IV) and 19 healthy controls, and analyzed using one‐step BRCA.

The text should read:

Four c‐miRNAs, c‐miRNA16 (c‐miR‐16), c‐miRNA21 (c‐miR‐21), c‐miRNA155 (c‐miR‐155), and c‐miRNA195 (c‐miR‐195) were isolated from the serum of 49 breast cancer patients and 19 healthy controls. Among them, 45 breast cancer patients and 15 healthy controls were analyzed using one‐step BRCA, 4 breast cancer patients and 4 healthy controls were analyzed by quantitative real‐time PCR assay.

Figure 6:

3. In figure 6A, the number ‘0.983’ was inadvertently replaced with ‘0.938’. The figure 6C was inadvertently replaced with figure 6D, and ‘1‐specificcity’ should read ‘1‐specificity’ in figure 6D. The corrected version of the figure is shown above.

The authors apologize for the errors.
