Correction to: Journal of Human Genetics (2009) 54, 47–55; doi: 10.1038/jhg.2008.2; published online 9 January 2009
It has come to our attention that the data in the Table 1 of the above article contained incorrect numbers. The number of samples (N) given against mentioned population groups should read as: Punjab Brahmin (N=28), Himachal Brahmin (N=19), Uttar Pradesh (South) Kols (N=54), Uttar Pradesh (South) Gonds (N=37), Madhya Pradesh Gonds (N=64), West Bengal Brahmins (N=18) and Maharashtra Brahmins (N=30). A total of 631 samples were screened, instead of 621 mentioned earlier in the published paper.
In Table 1, some of the percentage values for the mentioned haplogroups in Madhya Pradesh Saharia should read as: F*=5.27; H*=10.52; H1=22.8; L=3.51 and R2=5.3. In Gujarat Brahmins, the percentages should be C5=3.13 and E=3.13. Corrected table is shown below.
The Authors apologize for these inadvertent errors.
