Correction: Plasma Concentrations Predict Aortic Expression of Growth-Arrest-Specific Protein 6 in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0079452.].

Fig 3C is incorrect. In the fourth sentence of the Statistical Analysis section, the authors describe the analyses conducted to produce Fig 3C, “The relationships between the variables were tested with a Spearman rank-order correction and partial correlation analysis after adjusting for age.” However, the r and P value in the Fig 3C are not age-adjusted. Please see the corrected Fig 3 as well as the underlying data for the figure here.

Fig 3

Correlations between plasma sAxl and Growth Arrest-Specific protein 6 (Gas6) levels and between Axl and Gas6 expression in the aorta.

The positive correlations between plasma sAxl and Gas6 levels were significant in both groups (A, B). The expression of Gas6 was significantly and positively correlated with Axl protein expression in the aorta (P  =  0.0002).
