The Editor-in-Chief of Molecular Biology Reports retracts the above-mentioned article per the Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines on plagiarism and related questionable writing practices. The article uses as a template substantial portions of text of which a large part have been paraphrased in order to describe another association of FGFR4 polymorphisms with a disease (NHL versus CAD) from the following source(s):
