Other labs around the world were unable to detect XMRV in their patient samples. In July 2011 the journal issued an editorial expression of concern about the paper.<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Alberts | first=Bruce | date = 2011-07-01 | title = Editorial Expression of Concern|url=https://science.sciencemag.org/content/333/6038/35.1|journal=Science|language=en|volume=333|issue=6038|pages=35–35|doi=10.1126/science.1208542|issn=0036-8075|pmid=21719658}}</ref> | Other labs around the world were unable to detect XMRV in their patient samples.
