Corrigendum to “Plasma BDNF and PDGF-AA levels are associated with high TCD velocity and stroke in children with sickle cell anemia” [Cytokine 60 (2012) 302–308]
The authors wish to correct the numbers stated in the body and figures of the article titled ‘Plasma BDNF and PDGF-AA levels are associated with high TCD velocity and stroke in children with sickle cell anemia’, Epub June 15th 2012 and published October 1st 2012 in the Cytokine journal [1]. The values for plasma level of biomarkers quoted in the text and also the scales for the graphs/figures should be multiplied by 100 before use or quoting it. This is to reflect the 1:100 dilution that was done to facilitate the assay procedure and in compliance with the manufacturers protocol. This error was an oversight that was not apparent until recently and because it is impossible to correct the original article at this time. This correction does not in anyway change the observation that was made by the investigators in this study. Although this correction does not invalidate the associations, certain investigators might want to quote exact figures and it for this reason that we are publishing this corrigendum for those who will eventually use this article. We apologize for any inconvenience and are available to answer any questions you may have.
