In the article on the PTGS2 -765G>C polymorphism and risk of colorectal adenoma in the March 2005 issue (1), the Taqman probes for the PTGS2 -765G>C polymorphism were mislabeled erroneously. The correct probe sequences and fluorescent labels are as follows.

Wild-type (G) allele: 5′6FAM-TTTACCTTTCCCGCCTCTCT-3′MGBNFQ

Variant (C) allele: 5′VIC-TTTACCTTTCCCCCCTCTCT'-3′MGBNFQ
