There were some inaccuracies in the following sentence on p839 of the article: “Along similar lines, the pharmacological or genetic inhibition of phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) reduces tumour growth in vitro and in vivo, perhaps owing (at least in part) to the G6PD-inhibitory effects of 3-phosphoglycerate222. That said, genetic defects that have an impact on the enzymatic activity of G6PD are common among individuals living in geographical areas with a history of endemic malaria223.”

The correct sentence is as follows: “Along similar lines, the pharmacological or genetic inhibition of phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) reduces tumour growth in vitro and in vivo, perhaps owing (at least in part) to the PPP-inhibitory effects of 3-phosphoglycerate222. That said, genetic defects that have an impact on the enzymatic activity of G6PD (and hence inhibit the PPP) are common among individuals living in geographical areas with a history of endemic malaria223.”

This has now been corrected in the online version of the article.
