In the original article [1], there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. For reference Vill et al. 2019, the entry “1 in 7096” has been corrected to “1 in 7524”. Also for reference Kay et al. 2020, the entry “No” under “SMN2 Inclusion” has been corrected to say “Real-time PCR assay to assess SMN2 copy number”. The corrected Table 2 appears below. The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. The original article has been updated.
