Erratum to: J Genet Counsel

DOI 10.1007/s10897-015-9892-y

We would like to note the following corrections:

  • Abstract – confusion with 189 versus 187 responses

    • The survey assessed 189 cancer genetic counselors' experiences discussing reproductive risks with patients at risk to carry a mutation or variant of uncertain significance (VUS) in a gene associated with both an autosomal dominant cancer risk and an autosomal recessive syndrome.

      • To clarify, 189 met inclusion criteria, but only 187 continued with the survey.

  • Page 3

    • If a known carrier of an ATM mutation had a child with a partner of unknown carrier status, the chance for them to have a child with ataxia telangiectasia would be 1/800.

      • This should read 1/400, not 1/800

The authors regret these errors.
