We would like to report an erratum in our paper, “PRKCA: A positional candidate gene for body mass index and asthma,” which was brought to our attention by Dr. Stratakis. In the Introduction, the following sentence and reference were erroneously included: “In addition, a knockout mouse model of the regulatory II beta isoform subunit in protein kinase C α (PRKCA [MIM 176960]) results in almost no white adipose tissue.20” This sentence should read “In addition, a knockout mouse model of protein kinase C α (PRKCA [MIM 176960]) results in substantial increases in insulin-stimulated glucose transport in adipocytes,” and the following reference should replace the current reference no. 20:
Our sincerest apologies for this oversight.
