Erratum to: MGMT methylation analysis of glioblastoma on the Infinium methylation BeadChip identifies two distinct CpG regions associated with gene silencing and outcome, yielding a prediction model for comparisons across datasets, tumor grades, and CIMP-status

Erratum to: Acta Neuropathol (2012) 124:547–560 DOI 10.1007/s00401-012-1016-2

In the original paper, one of the author names was misspelled and should read David R. Macdonald.

One of the methylation probe names in the abstract was misspelled and should read cg12434587 (not cg1243587).

The authors wish to add the following statement that was missing in the Acknowledgments:
