In the August 2003 issue of the Journal, in the article entitled, “Mutations of von Hippel-Lindau Tumor-Suppressor Gene and Congenital Polycythemia,” by Pastore et al. (73:412–419), we reported mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau tumor-suppressor gene as a cause of congenital polycythemia. It was brought to our attention that one of the mutations was mistakenly labeled. The 574C→T missense mutation observed in patient 4 results in an amino acid change from proline to serine, not to alanine, as stated; therefore, it should have read: “a previously undescribed 574C→T (P192S) VHL mutation.” We thank Andrew Phillip of the Human Genome database for bringing this error to our attention.
