Correction: Corrigendum: Analysis of the genes responsible for steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome and/or focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in Japanese patients by whole-exome sequencing analysis

Correction to: Journal of Human Genetics (2016) 61, 137–141; doi:10.1038/jhg.2015.122; Published online 15 October 2015.

Since the publication of the above article, the authors have noticed an error in the description of mutation.

The LAMB2 mutation in Case 12 described as c.1405+1g>a (splicing mutation) in the main text and Tables 1 and 2 should have been c.1406g>a (p.R469Q). Case 12 was a compound heterozygote of LAMB2 p.[ R469Q];[G699R] mutation.

Table 1 Nucleotide changes detected in 24 patients with FSGS and/or SRNS from 22 different families

Table 2 Gene mutations and clinical features

This correction does not alter the results, but the sentence ‘The homozygous c. [1405+1g>a] mutation was reported in the patient showing Pierson syndrome.’ in the Discussion should have been deleted.

The authors would like to apologize for this mistake.
