Correction to: European Journal of Human Genetics (2011) 19, 1187–1191; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2011.113

The authors would like to apologize for the following error that has been brought to their attention.

In the first row of Table 4 the PMR (95% CI) should be 4.1 (2.4, 6.4) rather than 4.1 (2.4, 2.6).

Also, the first sentence on page 1189 should read:

‘...cardiovascular disease was reported four times more frequently in NF1 males (PMR=4.1; 95% CI, 2.4–6.4) than the general population.’
