Zhao Kai, first author wishes to retract the following article:

According to the author, the reasons for the retraction are as follows:

- All patients enrolled in the study received surgical resection and lymph node dissection. So the patients’ information was incorrect. Then, the corresponding information and data need to be collected again and reanalyzed.

- The P value for Figure 1 was calculated by the log-rank test. Since the data need to be reanalyzed, the 95% confidence intervals for the average survival times also need to be recalculated.

Dear Editor,

Letter to editor about the article: “Association between the interleukin-6-174 G/C polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis”, published in Genet. Mol. Res. 14 (4): 13076-13083 (2015)

B., “Letter to editor about the article: “Association between the interleukin-6-174 G/C polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis”, published in Genet. Mol. Res. 14 (4): 13076-13083 (2015)”, vol. 15, no. 4, p. -, 2016.

Dear Editor,

We have read a recent report by Jin et al. (2015) with great interest. Basing on accessible databases and the inconsistent results in previous studies, the authors conducted a meta-analysis to better clarify the association of the IL6-174 G/C polymorphism with ischemic stroke. The aim and effort of the author are praiseworthy. Nevertheless, the final conclusion of this article need to be further evaluated.

Dear Editor, We read the article “Association between the interleukin-6-174 G/C polymorphism and risk of ischemic stroke: a meta-analysis” by Jin et al. (2015) with great interest. The authors searched the literature for data sources to analyze the relationship between interlerukin-6-174G/C and ischemic stroke. Their meticulousness in study selection and data extraction is highly commendable. Of all the studies included in this meta-analysis, we were particularly interested in the extraction of data reported by Banerjee et al. (2008). For this study, Jin et al.

The GMR editorial staff was alerted about some manuscripts that were found to be substantially equal. The Publisher and Editor decided to retract these articles in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). After a thorough investigation, we have strong reason to believe that the peer review process was failure and, after review and contacting the authors, the editors of Genetics and Molecular Research decided to retract these articles. The authors and their institutions were advised of this serious breach of ethics.
