Addition of an Author
The authors wish to make a change to the author names (adding a new author—Teerada Daroontum) on this paper [].
- The author belongs to the new affiliation 5: 5 Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand
Teerada Daroontum was not included as an author in the original publication. The corrected Author Contributions statement appears here.
Dr. Teerada, whose name is missing, worked on immunohistochemical study of the gingiva for us. Dr. Teerada Daroontum has carried out beautiful work on the immunohistochemical study demonstrated in this paper and contributed to the discussion involving it. She has conducted immunohistochemical studies in a number of our published papers. It was my mistake that I [Piranit Kantaputra] failed to add her name as a coauthor.

Text Correction
There was an error in the original publication [] in Section 3.3.3.
A correction has been made to Section 3, Section 3.3.3, both in the section header and in paragraph 1.
- 3.3.3. Genetic Variant in the KREMEN2 Gene and Dense Mandibular Bone in Patients 3 and 4
In addition to gingival fibromatosis, patients 3 and 4 also had dense mandibular bone. Of note, KREMEN2 is also critical for bone formation and Kremen2-KO mice have been demonstrated to have increased bone formation [41]. Furthermore, overexpression of Kremen2 in mice resulted in severe osteoporosis with decreased osteoblast and increased osteoclast differentiation and function [41]. Therefore, the genetic variant in the KREMEN2 gene may also contribute to the dense mandibular bone in patients 3 and 4.
Figure Correction
There was an error in the original publication [] in Section 2.2.
A correction has been made to Section 2, Section 2.2, in both Figure 5 and Figure 6.
The two figures were swapped. Figure 5 should be Figure 6, and Figure 6 should be Figure 5. The captions are correct as they currently are.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
