Glutamate formiminotransferase deficiency, an autosomal recessive disorder and the second most common inborn error of folate metabolism, is presumed to be due to defects in the bifunctional enzyme glutamate formiminotransferase-cyclodeaminase (FTCD). Features of a severe phenotype, first identified

โฆ Synopsis
The authors of this article have learned that the cDNA sequence numbering of the three novel mutations reported in the FTCD gene was incorrect. The authors regret this error but note that the mutations were reported correctly at the protein/amino acid level.
The DNA mutations should have been reported as follows, based on GenBank NM_006657.1 and counting รพ 1 as the A of the transcription start codon: c.1033insG should be c.990dupG
