removing from the scientific record,
Wakefield, A.J., Murch, S.H., Anthony, A., Linnell, J., Casson, D.M., Malik,M., et al. (1998). Ileal-lymphoid-nodular hyperplasia, non-specific colitis, and pervasive developmental disorder in children. The Lancet, 351(9103), 637-641.
This retraction comes within days of a UK General Medical Council (GMC) decision that three authors of the 1998 article - Andrew Wakefield, John Walker-Smith and Simon Murch - had committed serious violations of research ethics and additionally, in Wakefield's case, irresponsibility and dishonesty in conducting the original research study. The three will return before the GMC in April where it will be determined whether there was guilt of serious professional misconduct - such a finding could result in sanction up through removal of license to practice medicine.
