The Genes journal retracts the article “Using Comorbidity Pattern Analysis to Detect Reliable Methylated Genes in Colorectal Cancer Verified by Stool DNA Test” [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the publisher regarding issues with reproducibility, scientific validity of the findings and data ownership of the list of genes discussed in ref. [1].
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, an investigation was conducted that confirmed significant issues with the reproducibility and ownership of the data, which bring the reliability of the overall findings into question. As a result, the Editorial Board and Editor-in-Chief have lost confidence in the findings and have decided to retract this article [1].
This retraction was approved by the Editorial Board Member and Editor-in-Chief of the journal.
