PMCID: PMC4856403  PMID: 27144272

There is an error in Table 1. The value listed under GDF-15, Mean (pg/ul), Group 2, should be 2043, not 20443. Please see the correct Table 1 and its caption below.

Table 1. Serum concentration of GDF-15 and FGF-21 in patients and controls.

GDF-15
Group Mean (pg/ul) SEM Range (pg/ul)
1 7593 3870 205–85252
2 2043 482.7 286–6926
3 1813 788.8 149–13370
4 349.1 32.21 147–809
5 350.3 20.69 155–584
FGF-21
1 966.5 231 25–3623
2 1106 345.7 6–5879
3 522.1 195 17–2658
4 136.1 43.87 30–837
5 77.59 10.3 21–285

SEM: Standard error of the mean. Group 1: patients with molecularly confirmed mitochondrial disease, Group 2: patients with definitive mitochondrial disease, Group 3: patients with probable mitochondrial disease. Group 4: patients with non-mitochondrial myopathy. Group 5: healthy controls.

Fig 4 appears incorrectly in the published article. Please see the correct Fig 4 and its caption below.
