Mutations in PRDM5 in Brittle Cornea Syndrome Identify a Pathway Regulating Extracellular Matrix Development and Maintenance

(American Journal of Human Genetics 88, 767–777; June 10, 2011).

In the original version of this paper, there was a misalignment of numbering of individuals of family BCS-001 in Table 1, affecting individuals IV:7 (unaffected), IV:8 (heterozygous), and IV:10 (homozygous). The corrected table appears below. The authors regret the error.

Affected, homozygous, individuals in each family are indicated. + indicates present; and empty box indicates not present. N/A indicates data not available. The following abbreviations are used: DDH, developmental dysplasia of the hip; TM, tympanic membrane; CCT, central corneal thickness. P, primiparous cervical incompetence; LD, learning disability; H, hernia (inguinal, umbilical or epigastric); CLP, cleft lip and palate; PKU, phenylketonuria.
