Following correspondence from a concerned reader, an inquiry was initiated into the novelty of results reported in the article entitled "Quantification of mitochondrial DNA with the A1555G mutation in deaf patients using real time-amplification refractory mutation system-quantitative PCR," which appeared online December 3, 2009 in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics as publish-ahead-of-print (doi: 10.2353/jmoldx.2010.090065). It was determined that four tables present in the JMD article had been previously published in the Chinese language journal National Medical Journal of China. After editorial communication with the corresponding author, Dr. Qi-shui, the Editors determined that the data represented redundant publication. The article is therefore being retracted from The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics by the American Society for Investigative Pathology and the Association for Molecular Pathology (the Publishers). All authors have been notified of this decision.
