Corrigendum

In [1], the authors would like to correct the following:

Page 215	“accepted 13 August 2008”should read as“accepted 13 August 2010”.
Page 215	“Sixteen mutations in 16 unrelated CCM patients were identified, nine mutations are novel: c.413T > C; c.601C > T; c.846 + 2T > G; c.1254delA; c.1255‐4delGTA; c.1681‐1682delTA in CCM1; c.48A > G; c.82‐83insAG in CCM2; and c.396G > A in CCM3 genes”should be replaced as “Sixteen mutations in 16 unrelated CCM patients were identified, nine mutations are novel: c.413T > C; c.601C > T; c.846 + 2T > G; c.1254delA; c.1255‐4delGTA; c.1682‐1683 delTA in CCM1; c.48A > G; c.82‐83dupAG in CCM2; and c.395 + 1G > A in CCM3 genes”.
Page 219	In Table 2, “p.K132K”should read as “Cryptic splice site”.
Page 220	“Molecular analysis of the CCM3 gene in non‐CCM1 and non‐CCM2 probands revealed, in a familial case, a novel germ‐line transition c.396G > A theoretically predicting a wobble codon (p.K132K), not reported in the SNP database nor observed in 100 healthy controls (Table 2)”should read as “Molecular analysis of the CCM3 gene in non‐CCM1 and non‐CCM2 probands revealed, in a familial case, a novel germ‐line transition c.396G > A, not reported in the SNP database nor observed in 100 healthy controls (Table 2)”.
Page 220	The sentence, “The structural importance of Lysine 132 is also shown by its conservation in all known homolog sequences” is to be removed.
Page 222	“13 were exonic and three intronic in critical splice site regions; 10 of the exonic mutations resulted in a PTC, two were silent mutations and one was a missense (Table 2)”should be replaced as “12 were exonic and four intronic in critical splice site regions; 10 of the exonic mutations resulted in a PTC, one was silent mutation and one was a missense (Table 2)”.
Page 223	“In a familial case with multiple lesion the AAG → AAA transition, affecting the last nucleotide of exon 7 in CCM3 gene, appearing to be a silent mutation (p.K132K) was observed (Figure 4 and Table 2)”should be replaced as “In a familial case with multiple lesion the G → A” transition, affecting the first nucleotide of intron 7 in CCM3 gene, was observed (Figure 4 and Table 2)”.
Page 223	The sentence, “Consistently, the previously described transitions AAG → AAA (K30K) and AAG → AAA (K203K) affecting the last nucleotide of exon 1 and respectively, in the CCM2 gene has been analyzed at cDNA level: the first one revealed only the wt allele (24), the second one produced an aberrant transcript (11)” is to be removed.

The authors would like to apologize for these errors.
