MEDICAL SCIENCES Correction for “Diagnostic utility of telomere length testing in a hospital-based setting,” by Jonathan K. Alder, Vidya Sagar Hanumanthu, Margaret A. Strong, Amy E. DeZern, Susan E. Stanley, Clifford M. Takemoto, Ludmilla Danilova, Carolyn D. Applegate, Stephen G. Bolton, David W. Mohr, Robert A. Brodsky, James F. Casella, Carol W. Greider, J. Brooks Jackson, and Mary Armanios, which was first published February 20, 2018; 10.1073/pnas.1720427115 (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 115:E2358–E2365).
The authors note that the author name Ludmilla Danilova should have instead appeared as Ludmila Danilova. The corrected author line appears below.
The authors also note that Fig. 2 appeared incorrectly. The text “TINF1” in the key for Fig. 2E should have instead appeared as “TINF2.”
The authors also note that, in the Significance Statement, line 8, “short telomeres syndrome” should have instead appeared as “short telomere syndrome.”
The authors also note that, on page E2363, left column, first paragraph, line 1, “short telomeres syndrome” should have instead appeared as “short telomere syndrome.”
The authors also note that, on page E2364, left column, second full paragraph, lines 2–3, “peripheral blood mononuclear cell” should have instead appeared as “peripheral blood mononuclear cells.”
The authors also note that, in the same paragraph, line 8, “Alexa 488” should have instead appeared as “Alexa Fluor 488.”
The authors also note that, on page E2361, right column, second full paragraph, line 5, “short telomere syndrome” should have instead appeared as “Short telomere syndrome.”
The authors also note that, on page E2362, left column, first paragraph, line 2, “across entire age spectrum” should have instead appeared as “across the entire age spectrum.”
The authors also note that, on page E2364, right column, first paragraph, line 12, the following sentence should have been added to follow the sentence ending in “given the known effect of freezing on TL (23),” at the end of the paragraph: “Quantitative PCR was performed as previously described (20).”
The article has been updated online to reflect these changes.
