Retraction Notice to: A BLOC-1 Mutation Screen Reveals that PLDN Is Mutated in Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome Type 9

Abstract

The United States Office of Research Integrity (US ORI) found that Andrew R. Cullinane, Ph.D., ''falsified and/or fabricated the results in Figure 3C, by using the same gel images to represent expression of PLDN in fibroblasts and melanocytes.'' This finding was published in the US Federal Register (81 FR 59642) on August 30
