For example:There was a mistake in the Funding statement, an incorrect number was used. The correct number is "2015C03Bd051.". The publisher apologizes for this mistake.The original version of this article has been updated.In the published article, there was a mistake in the Funding statement. The funding statement for the Key Development Project of the Department of Science and Technology was displayed as "2015CBd051". The correct statement is "Key Development Project of Department of Science and Technology (2015C03Bd051).'' Adding/removing text [According to the evidence usage guidelines of ACMG, we have found that there is a redundant effect in the use of PVS1 and PP3 evidence. The use of pp1 was inaccurate, and pp4 was omitted.]. A correction has been made to the section [Result Section, Bioinformatic analysis and pathogenicity classification, Paragraph 3]: "Based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) guidelines, the variant was classified as pathogenic (PVS1 + PM2 + PS3 + PP4). The PVS1 criterion was met due to the mutation affecting a canonical splice site, PM2 due to the absence of the variant in population databases, PS3 due to in vitro validation of Template continues on the next page minigene assay, and PP4 due to fetus's phenotype and family history is highly specific for X-linked hydrocephalus with L1CAM genetic etiology."The original version of this article has been updated.End of template.
