PHYSIOLOGY. For the article “TASK channel deletion in mice causes primary hyperaldosteronism,” by Lucinda A. Davies, Changlong Hu, Nick A. Guagliardo, Neil Sen, Xiangdong Chen, Edmund M. Talley, Robert M. Carey, Douglas A. Bayliss, and Paula Q. Barrett, which appeared in issue 6, February 12, 2008, of Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (105:2203–2208; first published February 4, 2008; 10.1073/pnas.0712000105), the authors note that on page 2204, right column, line 18, the statement “a recent study reports sex differences in effects of TASK-1 subunit deletion on adrenal development and zonation; males appear normal, and females show marked developmental abnormalities (25)” is misreferenced and should instead cite ref. 48. The added reference appears below.
