Correction to: Genetics in Medicine 22:2020; 10.1038/s41436-020-0772-y; published online 17 March 2020

The original PDF version of this Article contained an error in Table 3. For subject number 74, the column labeled “Genetic testing” should read CFI p.Tyr369Ser, not CFI p.Tyr200Ser. This has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.

Table 3.

Patients with a known genetic disease referred to the clinic for disease management (n = 19).
