Correction to: Bone Marrow Transplantation (2016) 51, 277–282; doi: 10.1038/bmt.2015.263; published online 2 November 2015.

Since the online publication of this paper the authors have noticed the below two errors:

1. The author name Papinicolou was misspelt and should be replaced with Papanicolou.

2. The x axis in Figure 1b should be labeled ‘months’ with the entire graph representing 1 year (3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months). Corrected figure can be found below.

The authors would like to apologise for these errors.

These errors have now been rectified, and the corrected article appears in this issue. The html and online pdf versions have also been rectified, and now carry the corrected paper.
