The Editor-in-Chief would like to alert the readers that concerns have been raised regarding some of the data presented in the figures. Specifically:

• In Fig. 1c (upper panel), the 588 T and 366 D9S104 bands appear highly similar, and the 4131 T D9S104 band appears highly similar to 3025 N PHF2 ex-18.

• In Fig. 3b, the two upper panels appear to have repetitive features in the gel backgrounds, and the bottom panel appears to have inconsistencies in the background.

• Figure 6c and f appear highly similar to Fig. 5d and a in [1], respectively.

Due to the age of the article, the authors are unable to provide the underlying raw data to sufficiently address these concerns. Readers are therefore advised to interpret these results with caution.

All authors agree to this Editorial Expression of Concern.
