Correction to: European Journal of Human Genetics advance online publication 18 November 2015; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2015.242

Since the publication of the above paper the authors have realised that they had omitted an important reference published online in this journal while their own paper was undergoing the review process.

In the paper by Abidi et al., the authors describe another case of a male patient with a non-mosaic deletion that encompassed the WDR45 gene. This reference supports the notion, also demonstrated in their paper, of the viability of non-mosaic males affected with either intragenic mutations or whole-gene deletions affecting the WDR45 gene. The reference is listed below:
