The authors regret the following errors found after publication of the article:

Table 1: In the first column “MiRNA”, “has-” must read “hsa-”, “has-miR-451” must read “hsa-miR-451a”, “has-miR-203-3p” must read “hsa-miR-203a-3p”, and in the third row of the fourth column, “MI0000283” should be “MIMAT0000264”, and the annotation "n, sample number" at the bottom of the table should be deleted.

Full size table

The corrected Table 1 is shown here:

Table 2 In the third row of the second column, “Non-blood sample (n  = 20)” must read “Blood sample (n  = 20)”

Table 2 Results of the analysis of blood and non-blood samples using the Z1/Z2 discriminant functions
Full size table

The corrected Table 2 is shown here:

“Materials and methods”: In paragraph “qPCR”, “QuantStudio™ Real-Time PCR software v1.3” must read “HID Real-Time PCR Analysis Software v1.3” instead.

“Results”: In paragraph “A discriminant function to distinguish blood samples from non-blood samples” it must read instead:

Z1 =  − 1.772ΔCt(miR-451) − 8.179.
