Correction: The Use of Quantitative Real-Time Reverse-Transcriptase PCR for 5′ and 3′ Portions of ALK Transcripts to Detect ALK Rearrangements in Lung Cancers

In this article (Clin Cancer Res 2012;18:4725–32), which was published in the September 1, 2012, issue of Clinical Cancer Research (1), the new fusion variants of ELM4-ALK in Fig. 4C are incorrect due to a typing error.

Below is the corrected figure.

As a result, the new EML4-ALK transcript has a 54 bp deletion, not a 53 bp deletion, in the 5′ portion of the original EML4 exon 10. The number “53” on page 4728, paragraph 6, should be “54.” The authors regret the error.
