Correction to: European Journal of Human Genetics (2014) 22, 1201–1207; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2014.2; published online 12 February 2014

Since the publication of this article the authors have found that they had listed reference 37 incorrectly. The correct reference is shown here:

Martinez-Cruz B, Vitalis R, Segurel L et al: In the heartland of Eurasia: the multilocus genetic landscape of Central Asian populations. Eur J Hum Genet 2011; 19: 216–223.

In Table S1, the correct references for the genotypes of the Central-Asian populations were 35,37 and not 37,38 as indicated, except for the five following populations that were newly genotyped for this study: Tajiks (Boukhara), Tajiks (Muchaus), Kyrgyz (Bichkek), Kyrgyz (At-Bashy) and Turkmen (Urgench).

The authors would like to apologise for their errors.
