Abstract
In the March 2021 issue of Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers (vol. 25, no. 3: 236-246), the article entitled Elevated SYNC Expression Is Associated with Gastric Tumorigenesis and Infiltration of M2-Polarized Macrophages in the Gastric Tumor Immune Microenvironment requires corrections to the author affiliations, some internal wording in the article itself, and the corresponding author information.
The affiliations of the authors were originally assigned as:
“Dazhi Wang,1,2 Lihua Deng,3 Xiaona Xu,4 Yinghui Ji,5 and Zheng Jiao2
1Department of Medicinal Chemistry, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, Jinan, China.
2Department of Pharmacy, Center for Precision Cancer Medicine, Clinical Oncology Pharmacist Training Bases (National Health Commission), Qingdao Municipal Hospital, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
3Department of Oncology, Center for Precision Cancer Medicine, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
4Department of Central Laboratories, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
5Department of Pharmacy, Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University, Weifang, China.”
The authors have since realized they should read as:
“Dazhi Wang,1,2 Lihua Deng,3 Xiaona Xu,4 Yinghui Ji,5 and Zheng Jiao
3Department of Oncology, Center for Precision Cancer Medicine, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.
4Department of Central Laboratories, Qingdao Municipal Hospital, Qingdao University, Qingdao, China.

A passage on page 237 read as:
“Correlations between SYNC expression and clinicopathological features were assessed.”
The passage should read as:

A passage on page 240 ( FIG. 2.), read as:
“Data were obtained from the HPA: www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000131389-SYNC/pathology/tissue/stomach+cancer#ihc”, should be, “Data were obtained from the HPA: https://www.proteinatlas.org/.”
A passage on page 244 read as:
“based on a Pearson's correlation test (Fig. 6B, D, F, H, p < 0.05, primary data from TCGA).", should be
A passage on page 238 read as:
“In this study, the curated gene set was used as an example dataset. Enriched gene sets correlated with the following pathways: CR_CYTOSKELETON [p = 0.0081; FDR, 0.2217; enrichment score (ES), 0.6306; Figure], PTEN PATHWAY (p = 0.01; FDR, 0.1235; ES, 0.6388; Fig. 3B), p38 MAPK PATHWAY (p = 0.0040; FDR, 0.1304; ES, 0.5777; Fig. 3C), PDGF PATHWAY (p = 0.0137; FDR, 0.1962; ES, 0.6376; Fig. 3D), GSK3 PATHWAY (p = 0.0040; FDR, 0.1304; ES, 0.5777; Fig. 3E), and ERK5 PATHWAY (p = 0.0086; FDR, 0.1233; ES, 0.5946; Fig. 3F).”
The passage should read as:
