In the Results, subsection “Comparison of Collagen Gene-Related Short Stature With Other Short Stature Genes and Growth Response to rhGH Treatment”, paragraph 2 as published originally, Table 4 was incorrectly cited. The following sentence “A total of 121 affected individuals diagnosed genetically are shown in Table 3.” should have read “A total of 121 affected individuals diagnosed genetically are shown in Table 4.”

Also, in the Results, subsection “Comparison of Collagen Gene-Related Short Stature With Other Short Stature Genes and Growth Response to rhGH Treatment”, final paragraph, incorrect height Z scores were presented.

The sentences “In ACAN-related short stature, rhGH treatment significantly increased height and the height Z score (from -2.9 ± 1.0 to 0.6 ± 0.7) after 2.8 ± 0.4 years of administration. For NPR2-related short stature, height Z scores were significantly improved from 3.1 ± 0.8 to 2.0 ± 1.0 after 3.8 ± 0.6 years of treatment.” should have read “In ACAN-related short stature, rhGH treatment significantly increased height and the height Z score (from -2.9 ± 1.0 to -2.2 ± 1.1) after 2.8 ± 0.4 years of administration. For NPR2-related short stature, height Z scores were significantly improved from -3.1 ± 0.8 to -2.0 ± 1.0 after 3.8 ± 0.6 years of treatment.”
