Erratum to: Imprinting disorders: a group of congenital disorders with overlapping patterns of molecular changes affecting imprinted loci

The Original Article was published on 14 November 2015

Erratum

Unfortunately, after publication of the original version of this article [1], it was noticed that there were some errors in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4:

  • In Fig. 3, the methylation of H19/IGF2:IG-DMR hypomethylation is not correctly illustrated: the lolly pops should be empty (=unmethylated).

  • In Fig. 4, the methylation of both H19/IGF2:IG-DMR hypermethylation and KCNQ1OT1:TSS-DMR hypomethylation are not correctly illustrated: in case of the H19/IGF2:IG-DMR hypermethylation the lolly pops should be filled (=methylated), and for the KCNQ1OT1:TSS-DMR, they should be empty (=unmethylated).

The corrected Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 have been included in this erratum.

The 11p15.5 cluster can be divided in two functional domains whose imprinting is dependent on distinct imprinting control regions (H19/IGF2: IG DMR and KCNQ1OT1: TSS DMR). Mainly hypomethylation of the KCNQ1OT1: TSS DMR is responsible for SRS

Epimutations and mutations in 11p15.5 are also responsible for BWS
