Retraction Note to: Mol Cancer 17, 73 (2018)
https://doi.org/10.1186/s12943-018-0783-3
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article at the Authors' request. After publication, concerns were raised regarding suspected image overlap with a previously published article [1]. Specifically, Fig. 6H Sample#1 CTNNBIP1#2 in this article and Fig. 2F HCC sample shC8#2 in [1] appear to originate from the same sample. The Authors have stated that they are unable to share parts of the original dataset and the ethics approval documentation.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
All authors agree to this retraction.
