While this article was in press, a phenotype similar to that described,caused by an identical mutation, was identified by Johnson et al. in two further families from the south-east of England(Johnson et al., 2003). Microsatellite genotyping showed that the affected individuals from all three families share the same haplotype across the HOXD cluster region, suggesting that the mutation arose in a common ancestor (F.R.G., unpublished).
The authors apologise to readers for this omission.
