Retraction Note: LncRNA SNHG14 promotes the development of cervical cancer and predicts poor prognosis.

Abstract

The article "LncRNA SNHG14 promotes the development of cervical cancer and predicts poor prognosis" by Y.-Y. Zhang, M. Li, Y.-D. Xu, J. Shang published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2019; 23 (9): 3664-3671-DOI: 10.26355/eurrev_201905_17790-PMID: 31114991 has been retracted in accordance with the Publisher and the Editor in Chief. The article has been retracted due to a critical error in the methodology. Specifically, the primers reported as targeting the SNHG14 gene were incorrect. A BLAST alignment of the cited primer sequences revealed that they do not significantly align with SNHG14, but instead match sequences from TALAM1/MALAT1. This error compromises the validity of the study's results. Therefore, the manuscript has been retracted. The authors were notified of the investigation and were asked to provide the raw data, but they have not responded. This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. https://www.europeanreview.org/article/17790.
