In Table 3, one of the novel mutations in GJB1 gene, c.124A>T/Ser42Cys, was incorrectly given as c.124A>C/Ser42Cys, and genotype, heterozygote, was incorrectly given as hemizygote. A novel mutation in GDAP gene, (c.740C>T)+(c.845G>A)/(Ala247Val)+(Arg282His) was incorrectly given as (c.740C>A)+(c.845G>A)/(Ala247Val)+(Arg282His).

The authors would like to apologize for these errors.
