Sarada, Varanasi Bhaskar & Putcha Uday Kumar (2021) Effect of Maternal Iron Deficiency Anaemia on the Expression of Iron Transport Proteins in the Third Trimester Placenta, Foetal and Paediatric Pathology, 40:6, 581–596, DOI: 10.1080/15513815.2020.1725942 Mullapudi Venkata Surekha, Thathapudi Sujatha, Shravanthi Gadhiraju, Putcha Uday Kumar, Mudili Siva Prasad, Gummadi Sailaja, V.

As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed. We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
