The authors wish to correct the legends of tables 1 and 2 as follows:

Table 1: Overview on the currently known imprinting disorders, their major molecular findings and main clinical features. (GOM, gain of methylation; IUGR, intrauterine growth restriction; MLID, multilocus imprinting disturbance; LOM, loss of methylation; PNGR, postnatal growth restriction; PTH, parathyroid hormone; upd, uniparental disomy)

Table 2: The recently consented clinical diagnostic criteria for SRS, BWS and iPPSDs (4) (5) (6) which might help to decide on the molecular diagnostic testing procedure. For the established diagnostic criteria for PWS and AS we refer to GeneReviews. (PTH parathyroid hormone, TSH thyroid stimulating hormone)

In addition, “parental” was incorrectly named as “paternal” in several places in table 1. A corrected version of table 1 is provided.
