The authors of the above paper noticed an error in the publication. The description of the identified variants in LARP7 was not appropriate because of the use of different NCBI NM references. The correct description of the variants according to build GRCh37 (hg19) transcript NM_015454.2 (LARP7) has to be c.1091_1094del, p.Lys364Argfs*12 for the Dutch case and c.1024_1030dup, p.Thr344Lysfs*9 for the Saudi Arabian case. The latter variant is identical to the variant identified by Alazami et al. in which it is described according to reference transcript NM_001267039.1 as c.1045_1051dupAAGGATA, p.Thr351Lysfs*9.
This correction does not alter the results and interpretation as discussed in the paper. The authors apologize for the unclear nomenclature of the variants.
